Hello Mick, how are you getting on with the latest Edition? Any new words you like?
Chambers was always my Dictionary of Choice and I'd always check whenever a new Edition was published to see if the definition of 'eclair' was the same..."eclair. A cake, long in length but short in duration" Glorious, isn't it?
My Dictionary buying days are now long gone, but I still cherish my husband's Book of Quotations, don't know the Publisher cos the covers are long gone (like my husband,actually) which still has the stamp of a book shop in Bulawayo, and, of course, my Roget's Thesaurus....and, natch, a copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare....
Happy browsing, Mick!
