Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Long a light and portable favorite, The Little Oxford Dictionary has sold millions of copies worldwide through its various editions. Now it is available in a completely revised new edition, drawing on the latest information and the constant upgrading of the famed Oxford Dictionary Department database--the source of the monumental Oxford English Dictionary. In this convenient volume, a skilled team of Oxford lexicographers have packed in all the critical information you need when away from your home or library. In preparing this new edition, they have taken into account the needs and comments of users and experts, making this the most useful dictionary of its kind. Here are just a few of the outstanding features: more than 44,000 entries, 60,000 definitions, new usage notes offering advice on common problems, enhanced guidance on alternative and difficult spellings, special new panels explaining points of grammar and grammatical terminology, expanded coverage of new technical and scientific terms, and completely up-to-date coverage of idiomatic English, from carer to galleria to mountain bike. Thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated, this new edition of The Little Oxford Dictionary provides the lexicon of choice for anyone on the go.
