SUPERB dictionary - buy it now!5
This is an absolutely superb dictionary and it's 'colour' element really helps with finding entries and makes it all a little more interesting! Headings are all written in red with descriptions in black and there are a few illustrations - but only where necessary. Incidentally the 'hardback' is actually a soft, tactile, plastic which makes it lighter and somehow much more pleasing to hold! Would recommend this dictionary!

Essential medical dictionary5
I am a GP in a very busy practice, and we send many complex letters and reports daily. I searched the web for a useful online dictionary for my staff to access and found them all cumbersome. So I bought 4 of these wonderful clear and concise dictionaries for my medical secretaries - the money was very well spent. This book is so easy to use, very well laid out, and I have yet to find a word I need that is missing. A great bargain for the money - and robust enough to be thumbed over and over and over.

Good for the size5
Good for the size. has all the necessary information you would expect to find and its in a handy size. Still not quite small enough to not notice you are carrying it but much better than a large one.
