the Pocket Oxford Dictionary of Current English by F. G. & H. W. (editors) Fowler
Small format, English language dictionary with solid definitions; includes archaic usage for word nerds. Handy index of abbreviations with explanations.
Old school circa 1906. Not to be confused with his / their MEU (Modern English Usage) which is fun for rainy day perusing.
This one's a must for the writer who expects to market internationally.
Possibly the best dictionary to roam the Earth. Love the ease of the whole thing. Just perfect.
