A dictionary is a dictionary and there's really no two ways about it. That being said, this dictionary breaks that mold with it's stunning painted edges. With it's green, orange, and brown tie dye like pattern this dictionary stands out from the rest of the field in stunning fashion. It also boasts a commanding presence on any shelf with its sheer size due to it's unabridged status (unabridged for 1958, unfortunately "selfie" has been omitted). The binding is in exceptional condition given the book's age. From the first ten pages have fold marks, most likely due to being closed incorrectly.
