About Author
Since 1937. Merriam-Webster is America's foremost publisher of language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate? Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America's best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.

I bought this dictionary for my children in 4th grade. It is perfect for them, truly pocket-sized when every other book they are lugging around weighs a ton.

Useful pocket dictionary, but why no "Foreign Words and Phrases" ? I and my family have been greatly indebted to the Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary from the 1940s where the classy Latin section at the end of the dictionary serves to remind one of how rich human language can become if we are occasionally prepared to appropriate the elusive mot juste from a foreign language ! Also, it would be more enriching than a section of Abbreviations that are, after all, only a part of our culture's ephemera and not as lasting or deep-rooted as our reliance on Latinisms. That is the most obvious omission from the newer editions and I hope that it doesn't start a trend.
