The Oxford Minidictionary

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The most authoritative, up-to-date, and easy-to-use compact dictionary available, the Oxford Minidictionary is now completely revised and expanded. The Third Edition offers over 40,000 entries and more than 45,000 definitions, and includes many new words and phrases such as Tessa, autogenic, ninja, and couch potato. Pronunciation guidance is provided for difficult words, and each page is clear and easy-to-read, with a minimum of abbreviations and special symbols. In addition, the Oxford Minidictionary contains a new supplement for word-game players--consisting of two-letter words, words with a "q" not followed by a "u," and words beginning with "x"--that is especially useful for crossword puzzles and Scrabble games. Helpful appendices--which include notes on correct English usage and punctuation, and lists of countries, chemical elements, and metric units--make the new edition of this popular reference source more handy and useful than ever.
