## Description

desertcart.com: The Chambers Dictionary, 13th Edition: 9781473602250: Chambers (Ed.): Books

Review: THE dictionary to have - Short of the Oxford English Dictionary Online, which is excellent but requires a somewhat expensive annual subscription, The Chambers Dictionary is the must-have reference for those who work with the English language on a daily basis. This 13th edition comes with the usual informative sections on the history of the English language, the varieties of English, using the dictionary, spelling rules, etc etc. But the gem is the final essay entitled "The Word Lover's Ramble" by Trevor Barnes, dated 2014, an essay based on research into every edition of Chambers starting from 1871, which highlights fascinating historical trivia on words and how they have changed their meaning over time.
Review: Great dictionary! - I recently read an Inspector Morse novel in which he mentioned the Chambers Dictionary as his go to dictionary. Well, being a long time dictionary fan, I decided to get a second hand edition. I paid $8 and I love this dictionary. So much so that I had to buy this new latest edition. This is a great dictionary.
