The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary contains 600,000 definitions, more than a third of the entries found in the Oxford English Dictionary in just one tenth of its size. All the vocabulary current in general English worldwide from 1700 (as well as in earlier major works such as the Bible and Shakespeare) to the present day is presented in its two volumes.
Historical and literary quotations are a unique feature, illustrating how the language has been used by writers through the centuries. The new Deluxe Edition includes the full dictionary on CD-ROM, which offers extensive searchability, quick results and a host of other features.
