Title: A good, portable dictionary for those with a good vocabulary
Product review: What I want in a (portable) dictionary is one that will have the words I look up. Since I have a pretty good vocabulary already, I tend to look up only words that are not in common usage. So, I want something to stick in a backpack, or have sitting on the end table next to me while I'm reading. Since I can't carry all 19 volumes of the OED around with me, and because I don't always have a computer handy, this is the dictionary I've selected. I don't often need etymology information, but I do want to know the meaning of words like orrery, exurb, or prandial before I read on. This is a good, all-around portable dictionary for all but a few who won't be satisfied with anything that doesn't take up six feet of shelf space.
