The classic original edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, first published in 1911 in a beautifully reproduced facsimile edition with a new introductory essay by David Crystal.

The book is a facsimile reprint of a scarce antiquarian work, preserving its historical significance despite potential imperfections like marks and flawed pages. It aims to protect and promote cultural literature by providing affordable, high-quality editions that remain true to the original.

The leading pocket-sized dictionary in the English-speaking world is now available in a user-friendly ninth edition.

Based on the Oxford English dictionary and its supplements.
