a fascinating dictionary. Our oldest publisher has produced
something distinctly new.' EFL Gazette
'This is a major new dictionary - the first Cambridge have produced
for this market ... All in all this is a very impressive
dictionary.' BBC English Magazine
'There is a section on grammar and the parts of speech which is a
model of clarity, and most welcome in an age when for many people
grammar appears to be a closed book.' The Magazine of The Cambridge
Society
'It is a pleasant surprise to open the Cambridge International
Dictionary of English with its fresh approach and many welcome
features … I will be glad to recommend it to our students.'
Professor Jan Svartvik, Lund University

one of Cambridge's aims: … completeness. CIDE provides more entries
and more examples than has been possible in other learners'
dictionaries.' ATESOL No 2, 1995

all, the layout, print size and quality of paper make it very
user-friendly indeed … a very valuable and attractive addition.'

'CIDE carefully explains parts of speech and their applications, is
generous with idioms, and, best of all … strongly labelled.' Sunday
Telegraph, 1995

dictionary, with a genuinely fresh approach. Highly recommended to
both learners of English, and teachers of those learners.' ATESOL

valuable and fascinating addition to the reference shelf, and of

second or even first language … the book is immediately
user-friendly.' EA Journal Vol 13, No 2
'It is certainly a treasure-house of everything that a student of
English could ever wish to find in one volume.' Frederick J
Featham, The School of English, Greece

are clear and easy to read. Throughout it seems evident that there
has been a deliberate effort to meet the needs of foreign
learners.' ESP France Newsletter, 1995
