There's nothing wrong with this dictionary, it just doesn't suit my needs. I get most definitions online, so I keep my iPhone next to me when I'm reading. Its age isn't a problem because most of the words I need to define were in the language before 1977. (

I won a copy of this dictionary in 6th Grade for winning a summer reading competition. It has never failed, even after my two year old ripped the cover half-off. Clear printing on acid-free paper, too. (
