Reviews

The dictionary is excellent. I didn't give five stars because the letters are too small. The paper is too thin letting a little shadow of the highlighted text transpass the other side of the page. I will forgive a little the editors because the book is big almost 2000 pages and any effort to make a better book would turn it much bigger. Fortunately they say everything is on the CD-ROM. Let us check it out.
