 It would have been nice if ... January 18, 2008

In virtually no place on Amazon's website, is there the warning that the digital edition is NOT a CD --you must download it from a website-- and the only way you can use is if you have a WinTel machine: The download is an .exe file, and that doesn't work with the Mac OS.
Next, any document worth owning anymore, is a PDF file, which is completely searchable. It takes up very much less space that program written specifically for the task. Additionally, Adobe's PDF documents work across several platforms.
The people responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves, to think that the only computer operating systems used by law professionals are WinTel machines.

You can probably get all the defs of the words you need off of Westlaw, but it's much more convenient to have this book next to you for you to thumb through real quick. I'm half-way through my first semester and my book is already roughed up and tattered from use.
Smaller but still takes up space... November 9, 2006

Although much smaller than the full text version, this one still gets annoying in the backpack all day. However, I must say I use it often and more frequently than I use online dictionaries...

FOR THE YEAR THIS BOOK WAS PRINTED THE LEXICOGRAPHICAL ENTRIES WERE VERY ACCURATE. ADDING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION TO THE APPENDIX WAS A NICE BONUS.
