This is a completely new member of the Oxford Dictionary family. With 90,000 entries, it provides accurate and up-to-date coverage of the vocabulary encountered everyday in schools, homes and offices. Sitting between the 8th editions of the best-selling "Pocket" and "Concise Oxford" dictionaries, its compact format is ideal for readers who want the expansive definitions, and full spelling and pronunciation guidance of the "Concise Oxford Dictionary", but do not need all the technical, scientific or literary terms.
