If you're only interested in modern English, it might be Gyutawari chicken. .

The top part of the slipcase was torn off from the rest of the case at one end, thereby spoiling the look. As a short-sighted person, I can't read it directly in bright places, but the included loupe is useful. Compact is a miniature version, but it's still the largest dictionary in my home. Sometimes the words that appear in the book I am reading are not listed in the dictionary, and I am also interested in the history of English and historical English, so I bought it.

Otherwise the book was in excellent condition. Yet the glass sent was better than I expected, after reading all the earlier reviews on it.

Disappointed with the handling of the packing though. The dictionary, being something I'd been wanting to buy for 20 years and more, was as expected, wonderful; though the print was even smaller than I thought it would be, for which a more powerful magnifying glass is required at my age. From Old English, which does not seem to be English, it is described in detail, such as the history of spelling and variants.
