I recommend that you be very cautious about buying "cheap-o paperbacks."
Some of the cheap dictionaries are missing entire sections. I understand
they do that to keep the book to size. This is not careful deletions, this
is by the set up page.
Do think of a good reason to buy a reputable dictionary at a fair price.
