Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Dictionaries & Reference
I decided to buy myself a great dictionary in 1988 as a gift for completing a business deal. I looked up the word love in all the books on hand at the store. The Random House Dictionary along with a good definition also had a beautiful quote from famous lines in literature. That was the selling point for me! Well, that book disappeared so I have been searching for ten years to find my favorite dictionary. I am so delighted to have a copy of it once again!
