Customer Reviews

The Oxford large print dictionary is perfect for us

Hi, We purchased this dictionary to replace a smaller paperback Websters dictionary. It is hardbound and a nice quality book. We purchased it because it also included a Thesaurus ( word use help) but mainly because of the large print. We are both over 50, and have to wear reading glasses. The large print is perfect for us.

Why did I wait so long?

I absolutely love this & wonder now why I waited so long to buy it for myself. For those visually challenged (getting older)it is a dream & I keep it very handy for practically daily use.

perfect for impaired vision

i purchased this for my niece! She has trouble with very small print and all the books in school. She has had amazing results and grades have improved! She just needed a print to be able to read. also the combination makes it easier for her to carry and store at school!
