What surprised me was the choice of paper used in printing this book and the quality of that paper! It’s been a very pleasant experience using this book. And, initially I wasn’t welcoming of the “lengthy” details into etymology of different senses of the same word, but as I kept using this book for derivation lookup, I eventually became very thankful of the details provided. Love it, love it, love it!!

I rely on this book especially when working on legal documents. This was an excellent investment and addition to my home library.
