1927 Webster's New Int'l Dictionary

[randooch]

I thought perhaps one you folks with a vintage-inspired office or den might enjoy this awesome old tome. I've been lugging it around with me for decades and I think it's time to pass it along.

It is almost six inches thick, the last inch of which consists of a History of the World reference. Zillions of pictorial illustrations, many in full color.

If you're a logophile like me, this massive book will delight you. If you'd like pictures of various parts, let me know via PM. ( I didn't want to take up FL space if there's no interest.)

I only want 30 bucks plus actual shipping, which might be surprisingly inexpensive if shipped "media mail." The thing must weigh 20 lbs.!

Okay, I got a quote from the Post Office. Media mail will only run 12 bucks.

Any takers considering this new information?

I found a 1940 version of same quite a few years back. It's been on the shelf for a long time, but I still love it. It's fun to browse though the definitions, because even in a dictionary, you can feel the difference in era.
Somebody! Grab this! It's a cool thing!

Thanks, dhermann1! It is indeed a fun book to have at one's fingertips.

I'll be posting this on EBay tomorrow unless I get a taker. (I see two lesser examples on there for many times my price.)

It's full of cool stuff like this:

And this!

Sold to an appreciative bibliophile!
