John McHardy Sinclair (1933–2007)

An excellent dictionary. I highly recommend the CD that goes with the volume itself, since it does not only include all the content of the book, but also additional information on word usage. The only disadvantage with it is that it has got too few words, but it is absolutely perfect for normal English.

This book has been specially developed for advenced students and teachers of english. The result of a thorough analysis of writen and spoken language, this book provides a clear and detailed picture of modern english grammar. The clear layout, as well as the extensive index and cross-referencing, ensure easy access.

I love it! Useful for native and English language learners.

Bought before leaving for the UK where there was the slight chance I would work as an ESL teacher, so I would need to actually know stuff about the mechanics of English. Kept as a reference.
