great dictionary [Posted on 2007-05-17]
like all the oxfords, this is a weighty tome; well organized and easy to use.
disappointed/ don't like blue words : harder to read than the black. Paper quality poor [Posted on 2007-10-17]
poor quality paper gives tha feel that the pages will easily tear and the dictionary is not built to last. The words are highlighted in blue rather than the usual darker black and this makes it more difficult to sort them out.
The book seems to be more designed for its prettiness than for its functionality.
word spacing could be better.
Trendy format spoils scholarship. [Posted on 2007-11-03]
In my mind, the words "scholarship" and "color print" don't mix. For centuries scholars have found their way through page after page of black and white (perhaps dark brown and light brown from time to time), and it seems odd that suddenly we have happened upon a better way - black and BLUE and white.
That's cool for a travel dictionary you're trying to read in a taxi, or when pointing out some turn-of-phrase to a fellow tourist. It's flashy and stylish. And as long as you don't have to look at it for more than, say, twenty seconds at a time, I suppose it would do.
But to me the name "Oxford" means "if you're serious, this is for you." The name "Duden" is likewise highly esteemed.
So why is a dictionary made for the studious person being marketed to the tourist? I'm sure the scholarship is excellent, but I really wish it were in black and white. If there were a comparable edition in the traditional format I would buy it right away.
