Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary does not begin with A or end with Z. It provides a wealth of useful information not found in other dictionaries. Almost 160,000 entries and 200,000 definitions. Entries for words often misused or confused include a clear, authoritative guide to good usage. In an exclusive new feature--entries are dated. How old is a word? When was it first used? The answer is here, but in no other American dictionary. The newest in the famous Collegiate series, the most widely approved dictionary for home, school and office.

SYNOPSIS: More than 11,000,000 hardcover copies of the Eighth Edition of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary were sold in the ten years it was in print. Now with the ninth Edition, Merriam-Webster brings you the very latest in this best-selling tradition. And with it come two important new features. DATING: How old is earthling? (almost 400 years) When did brat first enter the language? (1925) This kind of question is often asked, and now, uniquely in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary you will find the answers. Answers available in no other American dictionary. For the first time, the dictionary is not only functional; it invites browsing. The knowledge that finalize was being used in 1922 may have a bearing on your view of its acceptability today. That knowledge may also stimulate your interest in when other -ize words, such as energize, entered the language. (1752) This unique feature is made possible through the incomparable Merriam-Webster archives. This resource, undoubtedly the worlds' largest, now includes over 13,000,000 citations of words in action, together with the surrounding text. Original evidence of actual usage available only to Merriam-Webster editors. It is important to note that in all Merriam-Webster dictionaries, senses of multisense words are shown in historical order; thus, the first entered sense is the oldest entered sense. Since the user would only be misled by a date unconnected to a meaning, it is the first entered sense that is dated. An unentered sense, even if older, is ignored. The word nice, for example, came into the language about 700 years ago meaning "silly." That sense has not been in use for over 400 years, and to show a date for a sense that does not itself qualify for entry in the book would be, at the very least, unhelpful. The editors are, of course, always trying to uncover evidence of an earlier usage, and if any of our readers can provide us with written evidence to that effect we will be appreciative. (No reward, just our thanks.) Both the scholar and the curious layman will find this exclusive feature of the Ninth Edition a valuable and unusually interesting new dimension to the dictionary. USAGE: The second major departure from past practice relates to a matter of great concern to many people--good usage. Until now, dictionary editors have generally been content to limit their involvement in this area to usage labels (obs., lit.), brief usage notes (usually taken to be offensive), or ambiguous op.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.

Condiciones de env�o

We realize that the packaging and shipping of your purchase is an important aspect of your order. You have spent time carefully selecting which copy of a book to purchase (Thank you for choosing ours!), often based on its described condition. Bearing this in mind, we carefully package your purchase using:

cardboard boxes or cardboard shipping wraps
cardboard wrap in a Poly Mailer
bubble wrap
foam wrap
air bags
paper fill

While we often re-use shipping materials, we only do so with clean materials that are worthy of the job. We believe in the second "R" in "Reduce, Re-use, Recycle" when it comes to shipping, but only if it does not compromise your purchase.

Choosing the most appropriate materials suited to your purchase, we package up your parcel, taking the time to do everything we can to ensure its safe and secure delivery to you. Attention is paid to protecting corners and boards of hardcover books and ensuring that paperback books cannot be curled or folded while in transit. To ensure that no moisture damage occurs while in transit, we make sure that a plastic, protective barrier is a part of your package, either by using a Poly Mailer or by plastic bagging/wrapping your book(s) if a cardboard box is to be used for shipping. No loose edges or flaps are left on the outside of packages to ensure smooth flow and safe journey through postal system sorting and scanning equipment. An Invoice and Packing Slip are always safely enclosed with your book(s), so that should an unfortunate incident occur to exterior labelling and/or packaging, postal employees can identify the rightful owner of the contents and complete delivery. We try to think of everything!

We then choose one of the various shipping services offered by Canada Post to meet your chosen shipping timeframe. While not all services include a Tracking Number, if the one that we choose to use does, we enter this number into the Order Details and/or email our customers this information, so that its delivery progress can be monitored, if customers choose to do so. Packages that are shipped including a Tracking Number also include Insurance. If we choose to ship a package using a service that does not include a Tracking Number and Insurance, it is only when it is not economically feasible to do otherwise.

If you have any special requests regarding packaging and shipping, please just let us know. We want to work with you to ensure complete purchase satisfaction.

When initiating a RETURN: (1) Please notify us of your intent to return a purchase and the reason why via email. (2) Please initiate the Return through abebooks, using the correct procedures (see abebooks Help for reference). (3) Please return the item (in the condition you received it) to us packed as you received it in the packing material you received it in, using the same or similar postal service.
