Title: Third Edition: Excellent Reference Book - Majorly Flawed!
Product review: I love the layout of this dictionary! For its price, it can't be beat in my opinion. No - no colored pictures, but this is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia -- you use it to look for words. There is a bonus "reference" section at the end which has several uniquely American things like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and various other goodies. While this dictionary excels in every aspect I am concerned with over the American Heritage Dictionary, it has a major problem. The paper quality is horrible! Thinner than rice paper. Print bleeds from the other side of the page. My first edition did not have this problem, but this third edition has definitely cost-cut and for that reason, I cannot recommend you buy this edition.
