  A GENUINE MERRIAM-WEBSTER
  The name Webster alone is no guarantee of excellence. It is used by a number of publishers and may serve
  mainly to mislead an unwary buyer.
  Merriam-WebsterTM is the name you should look for when you consider the purchase of dictionaries and
  other ﬁne reference books. It carries the reputation of a company that has been publishing since 1831 and is your
  assurance of quality and authority.
