WEBSTER'S DESK DICTIONARY

Based on the bestselling 1992 edition of Random House Webster's College Dictionary, Webster's Desk Dictionary offers many of the best features of larger dictionaries in a compact form perfect for school or the office. The dictionary includes more that 60,000 entries, along with handy drawings and diagrams and brief biographical and geological notes. A strong feature of this dictionary is its supplemental sections, which offer, among other things, guides to punctuation, foreign alphabets, and even a section on avoiding sexist language.
