Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary

This is slightly shorter and thicker than New World Pocket Dictionary, which my 11 year-old son claimed "perfect size". It has some distinct features that we liked: 1. Pronunciations provided 2. Words with self-evident prefix are listed separately at the bottom of pages, which make true "new" words easier to spot. 3. Pages have rounded corners (think of iPhone), thus less prone to being creased. 4. It does have 40000 words, about 100 per page, a good overall size. 5. Less words on one page makes it easier to read

Purchased this dictionary for my son (10 years old) to use at school. It goes from the 'C's to the 'P's. I found the start of the 'H's after the 'S's. The 'D's through 'G's are totally missing. This dictionary is a joke. Don't try to get a refund from the store unless you plan on wasting your time to return this dictionary that us useless.
I tried to rate this product with no stars but the system will not let me.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANY ONE THAT WANTS TO LOOK UP DEFINITIONS OF WORDS BECAUSE THE FIRST WORD I TRIED THERE WAS ONLY THE WORD NO DEFINITION. IT WAS FASTER TO FIND MY OLD DICTIONARY AND LOOK FOR THE DEFINITION IN THAT.
IT JUST ISN'T THE DICTIONARY I WAS LOOKING FOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Bought this for my grandson to keep in his backpack. He is in elementary school and it is just the right size to carry around. He is 7 years old and his 9 year old brother also has one. He uses it frequently.

Perfect for the grade school kid to always have in their backpack for use during writing assignments or when reading something and come across a word they do not know the meaning of, they can look it up quickly in their pocket dictionary.

This pocket-size dictionary is very light weight. It has reasonable amount of words for its size. However, people above 40 years old may have difficulty reading it since the font is on the smaller side. I guess it is a trade-off the publisher has to make.
