I love this edition. It is a beautifully bound dictionary perfect for any bookcase. I love the traditional burgundy color. The information inside this text is wonderful and puts to shame The Oxford (any American version), The New World, Random House and other inferior American dictionaries. Just compare the information you are given in the Merriam when compared to these other word vessels. There is no comparison. The Merriam even prominately displays the year your word originates. Merriam wins! No contest!
