I accidentally attended a book sale today, but was very restrained and only purchased language books that I actually need for my appalling French and Italian, and a couple of history tomes, which are [Poll #1580212]And lil, thank you for your comment! I had to delete and start again because the poll was not working for me, hope it does this time!

Almost $800 for a book is pretty steep! Even if you can claim it on your tax or get some money back or whatever. Me, I still have my dictionary and thesaurus that I had for school. I don't use them, they just sit on the shelf gathering dust.

If you buy it I'm sure you'll find somewhere to put it even if it's on the floor besides your bed. :D

If the book is 'compact' why the hell is it $795? *shakes head in dismay*

It's FULL of information! And it's compact is not very compact, about 1.5 reams of A3 paper IIRC. However, you're right. While I have the money to throw around, it would be better spent on savings ;-)

And I already have four English dictionaries (well, one complete Macquarie, which is Australian I suppose), plus big Italian and French ones, and small Italian, French, Latin, Welsh, Old English, Anglo Saxon, Estonian, Gaelic and Spanish ones. I should probably spend the money on Italian courses instead!
