5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality worth the money
Good quality, binding. Nice hard cover and print good font size and lettering
5.0 out of 5 stars Very reliable source for English etymology.
The book does its job perfectly. The dictionary is compilation of English words listed in order by alphabet and their given origin and cognates (cognates are words that developed from the same root of a Proto-language). The book also does a very good job at using a huge amount of references and academic material so the book is quite decent on explaining many Proto-Indo-European roots and cognates as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Actually a bargain for an epic.
This is the Holy Grail of Etymological dictionaries. I remember drooling over it years ago in the bookstore, but not being able to justify the $75 price tag at the time. Now the actual retail is $90, so $60 is a "bargain", such as it is.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected
Very happy with this purchase.
4.0 out of 5 stars not bad
The Smathers dictionary put out by George Mason University was the best ever. This is the best dictionary available on Bolo.
5.0 out of 5 stars great to just browse through...
...or read, or skip from thought to thought with.The defintions are extremely concise and the etymology section for each word is often also brief. Longer entries occur when a story or individual or specific event is behind the word. Nice and readable printing and a nice, small, thick size. As far as I can tell, this book has not been updated since publication in the sixties; okay by me because words coined since then can be researched using the net.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty wordy. Lol
As expected.

子供が大変喜んでいた
Printed in UK! excellent product
The origin of words is important as they keep changing. Get this to find out. This is the original and the best I am told by someone who used this as bedside reading from childhood and I am beginning to appreciate it. Word nice means foolish and stupid...Are you nice?
Parfait
Une transaction sans problème.Article envoyé promptement et avec beaucoup de soins.Je recommanderai volontiers chez ce vendeur.
A very good etymological dictionary
As other reviewers, this is a bit out-of-date but the scope and definitions more than make up for the lack of more modern terms. Not sure I would bother to replace it if a more modern edition was published, it is that comprehensive.
