Vibrant language companion, essential for all readers.

The Oxford Colour Dictionary is a comprehensive reference tool for any reader. Its unique feature is its color coding system, which helps users quickly find the information they are looking for. It is particularly useful for visual learners, new words learners, and people interested in language and diverse vocabulary.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

This reference uses the text of the "Little Oxford Dictionary" to provide quick access to spellings and meanings in a colourful layout. All headwords, variants (plural forms and alternative spellings) and derivatives are displayed in colour making them particularly easy to find. Extra help is also provided in the form of usage notes, pronunciations for difficult words and language panels to explain grammatical terms such as clause, metaphor and conjunction. An additional appendix helps you get more out of your dictionary by testing your vocabulary-building skills with questions on spelling and meaning. Answers are provided so you can test yourself. The durable flexi binding makes the dictionary particularly hard-wearing. This book is intended for general trade, for home, school, and office.
