Who exactly reviews a dictionary? Mostly those of us who consider ourselves among the crowds of logophiles and bibliophiles, I'd like to believe. I can't say that I've read the entire tome but what I will say is that it's a beautiful book.
My favorite feature is the little boxes of synonyms under the relevant terms. As enlightening as it is and being amongst one of the precious hard covers I have, this dictionary's a hands-off unless under supervision (for certain persons). I totally recommend this.
