Un buon dizionario. Con 45.000 voci e un approccio molto serio, è facile trovare termini che non compaiono su Marolli, McGraw-Hill o Crielesi – tanto per nominare tre dizionari tecnici IT-EN. Nell’edizione Wordsworth, mi è costato solo £2,50 sterline: per mille pagine ben scritte, direi che è stato un affare.

Piuttosto completo, mi sembra. Scritto in modo sorprendentemente chiaro e semplice, e contiene più parole che non compaiono sull’OED o su Webster’s. Finora non l’ho mai usato ma non si sa mai…
