This was a good book for referencing however, I had one problem. For my daughter's homework assignments, I needed a listing of synonyms and antonyms for words in the dictionary. There were none and I had to go to the online dictionary for help. Which I found right away on some dictionary websites. Other than that, it was a good book.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

This is a big book, but a great one. It has loads of illustrations and pictures. I also bought the M-W 11th Collegiate as a companion. The pictures-in-the-margins format takes some getting used to, but all-in-all this is a comprehensive and wonderful reference book.
