"This latest (sixth edition) version of the Shorter (the full
Oxford is 20 volumes) features 2,500 new words, including blogroll,
cremains and crapola, but its real value is in its explanation of
word origins and the distinguished examples of usage."--Seattle
Times
"The big language book of the year."--William Safire, New York
Times Magazine
"The one dictionary you ought to have."--Philadelphia Inquirer
"A browser's paradise....The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary
remains the most reliable and certainly the most capacious of
abridged dictionaries. Now with the CD-ROM thrown in, it is also
the most convenient."--Edward Short, The American Spectator
"The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is an affordable and highly
useful resource and continues to deliver the high quality one
expects. The addition of the CD-ROM makes it very portable and
convenient to use."--American Reference Books Annual
"Academic and public libraries that do not own the second edition
of the OED or the fifth edition of the Shorter should purchase the
sixth edition since it contains a significant portion of the OED's
content. Libraries with comprehensive collections will want the
Shorter even if they have the other works."--Booklist, starred
review
"The Shorter OED continues to be a superb source of information for
information on English words from 1700 forward, plus Shakespearean
and biblical vocabulary....Recommended. All levels."--CHOICE
