Title: poor binding on 2001 edition
Product review: I purchased the 2001 edition of this book in a retail book store about two years ago. At first I seldom used it, but in the last few months of 2007 I started to use it quite a bit. Shortly after, the pages begin to come loose from the binding. I believe any dictionary should be made with enough quality to give years of use. I have paperback English dictionaries that are several years old and still in one piece. I have other paperback English/Spanish dictionaries that are still holding up. Of the hundreds of paperpacks that I have purchased over several years, this book is one of the five or six that did not hold together.Aside from the poor binding construction, I would rate the content of this dictionary a 3 or 4. It is possible that the edition on sale here has a better binding than my edition, however, if you need an everyday dictionary, look elsewhere.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
