Editorial Reviews

**** The core of W3, originally published in 1961 (and cited in BCL3, Sheehy, and Walford), needs little reintroduction, its essential daily use in a wide variety of settings assuring comfortable familiarity. The present 1993 printing includes an addenda section that is bound into the front of the volume, and consists of approximately 14,000 new words and meanings that have entered the language since the original publication. Users who haven't worn out their copies of previous printings can order the addenda section through the publisher for $5. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
