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.
If you play scrabble, either the old fashioned way (on a board) or on the computer, then you need one of these handy little dictionaries to look up words you thought were words but weren't really sure. You'll also find words you never even dreamed were words, and each has a brief definition.
Beyond being useful for playing Scrabble, this book is fun. Its nice to just have a list of new words. You can spend some relaxing time just peeking through the book to find new words and what they mean. This book is worth it just for identifying the first acceptable two-letter Q/Q-without-U word, Qi. No longer must you be able to spell just Qat when you get stuck with the Q at the very end of the game without an accompanying U.
