English Dictionary (Collins GEM)

The Collins Gem English Dictionary is the world's best-selling small dictionary. This new edition incorporates the latest changes in the language to ensure the dictionary remains up-to-date and relevant for the modern world. Collins Gem English Dictionary is the most popular small dictionary available. First published in 1902, it has remained a firm favourite because of its convenient size, ease of use, and comprehensive coverage.

In addition, the typography has been redesigned to give a clear new look that makes the book easier to use than ever.

This combination of the best of old and new features promises to keep the Gem dictionary at the top for another century.
