American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (repost)

Anne H. Soukhanov & Co-Editors, "American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language"
Houghton Mifflin; 3 ed | 1994 | ISBN: 0395711460 | 2184 pages | PDF | 40,9 MB

The third edition of the American Heritage Dictionary is a beauty–2,134 pages –containing a lexicon of more than 200,000 entries, plus an appendix of Indo-European roots for etymology enthusiasts. The crisp white pages and sharp black print are easy on the eyes, the drawings and pictures (nearly 4,000 in all) are a delight, and along with the lucid, erudite definitions are 4,000-plus quoted illustrations of usage from the likes of Shakespeare, Melville, and Updike. Though it's the chosen reference of editors, it's more than a mere tool of the trade–it's a luxurious linguistic experience.
