Jenny's Reviews > Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary, Newest Edition, (Flexi Paperback)

I'm one of those people who always reads with a dictionary because I'm a writer and I love learning new words. This little book is great to stick in my purse with my book, or to take on the train, airplane, etc. Unless I'm reading at home, I have it with me. My only complaint? Because it's so small - maybe 5x4x.5 inches - it's missing quite a few less common words. If I'm reading a very complex book, or an antequated one, I'd usually rather just use the enormous, hardbound dictionary that I have at home, but it still boasts a 40,000-word collection.
