Book Reviews of Merriam-webster's Pocket Dictionary
Book Review: a genuine POCKET dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, as others point out, this has fewer words than a full-sized Collegiate dictionary. Duh! However, this is the only dictionary on Amazon that actually fits in your pocket. That, to me, is the definition of a "pocket dictionary." It has the expected number of words and the right form factor for a "pocket dictionary." (It's about the size of a Blackberry.)
And here's something obvious: If you are an adult writer doing serious writing, you should have a serious dictionary, not a "pocket dictionary." However, if you need a dictionary (for whatever reason) that you can put in your pocket, then this one is just fine. I speculate that it is also perfect for younger writers, whether or not they choose to put it in a pocket.
