use than ever before.

Pocket Oxford English Dictionary Reviews

  • Archit

    Read in my school years, this is one of those books that I carried everywhere I went. Revising it here and there. It still remains the best.

  • Justin Walshaw

    There's no way that this is going to fit into my pocket, especially considering I already have a cellphone and a cigarette lighter in there. No way, I tells you.

    Rating - 4.5 ⭐
    One of the first books I picked up as a kid, still remains a favourite...
    This book reads steady and slow, great for flipping through on a lazy summer afternoon. Sticks to the tried-and-true formula, so don't expect any great twists... I mean, I felt a slight disappointment when I found out that X came before Y, which came before Z - quite clichéd. But what it lacks in originality it definitely makes up for in vocabulary and layout. Don't pass up on this one.

  • Sammy

    This is probably one of my first book that I still use.

    I still read randomly from it when I get bored.

  • আহমেদ আবরার

    Pocket dictionary not fitting the Pocket! Haha! Definitely a good one. But wishing a paperback version.

  • Marts (Thinker)

  • April

    It's a dictionary. Missing some words but all around useful.

  • Alisa
