The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It traces the usage of words through 2.4 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources.
The OED has a unique historical focus. Accompanying each definition is a chronologically arranged group of quotations that trace the usage of words, and show the contexts in which they can be used. The quotations are drawn from a huge variety of sources worldwide - literary, scholarly, technical, and popular - and represent authors as disparate as Geoffrey Chaucer and Erica Jong, William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin and Isabella Beeton.
Other features distinguishing the entries in the Dictionary are authoritative definitions; detailed information on pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet; listings of variant spellings used throughout each word's history; extensive treatment of etymology; and details of area of usage and of any regional characteristics.
Alongside the print edition is the Oxford English Dictionary Online (www.oed.com). Updated quarterly, this award-winning online resource allows the Dictionary to evolve with the English language while the print edition remains as a historical record. Subscriptions are available to OED online on an individual or institutional basis. Visit www.oup.com/online/oed/ for details.

20年来求めていた辞書です。additionns series 3v.mを含めたセットで入手でき、とても喜んでいます。アマゾンでの商品紹介通り、又、出品者の電脳書房さんからの照会回答その通りのこれ以上言うことのない良品でしかも極めて良心的価格でした。お陰様で精神的に安堵した思い出います。

11年前に20巻版購入。今回縮刷版をマーケットプレースで購入。もちろん辞書の内容に文句をつけようはないが、
縮刷版は添付のルーペと老眼鏡を掛けても読めない。もう少し気軽読みたいと思って購入したが無理。 だが、手元に
これが置いてあるだけで幸せな気分になるのは何故だ? 現在強力ルーペを探し中。

2010年にOED第3版がでるという噂があるが、敢えてこの第2版を購入した。何故なら辞書は(あるいは辞書に限ったことではないだろうが)必ずしも最新が最良というわけではないからだ(COD然り、POD然り)。OED3がどのような辞書になるか分からないが、当然コンピュータによるコーパス分析に基づくものになるとすれば、あるいは改悪もあり得るであろう(コンピュータによるコーパス利用によって、必ずしも「味わいのある辞書」が作られるわけではないというのが個人的見解である)。OED2は、ある意味ではOED3の後塵を拝することになるかもしれぬが、しかしOED3の出現によっても決して色褪せることのない独自の魅力を放ち続けるであろう。幾つかの批判もあるやに聞くが、しかし古き良き英国を――(科学的手法を金科玉条とし、薄っぺらな記述主義に堕した)現代言語学とは無縁の、堅実な、フィロロジカルな研究に基づく古き良き学的伝統を――彷彿とさせるこのOED2が、英語辞書界における至宝であり、豊かな滋味を湛えた辞書であることは確かである。願わくは、OED3がより良き辞書であらんことを!

持っていないが一つ書かせていただく。こんな大時代的な辞書は要らないものである。確かにこの辞書の評価はとてつもなく高い。かつては五十万くらいした。英米文学、英語学の専門家の書斎には必ずあり、使う事より存在感とハクをつけるためのものであった。その時も今も使いにくく必要のないシロモノだった。今はさらにいらないのである。使いにくくて仕方がない。辞書はリーダース英和辞典で育ったのでこんなものは要らないのである。無用の長物とはこういうもののことを言う。ショーターオックスフォードを持っているが、これでも使いにくくて仕方ない。こんなOED なんかは絶対にいらない。英語の本を読み深く研究し英語史を研究していてもこんなに仔細に細かく学術的に書かれているとどうしようもないだろう。that の項など複雑過ぎる。たまに出してくるだけであろう。今や専門家にもいらない時代が来ているのである。思いのたけを書いてみた。間違いない。

Truly, an epic piece of scholarly work.
2019年2月12日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The "scholarly Everest" is how others describe it given the lofty standards the OED has set for anyone wishing to consult it. While climbing its simultaneous steep and deep elucidations of practically anything, and everything, know-able and expressible within the bounds of the English tongue one is visited by doubt, hope, and finally, redemption - - - conquering one's fear of knowing and doing. My set is practically new, untouched, un-consulted, and, yet, all the volumes speak of an adventure worth immersing oneself. Within its 22,000+ pages lies a lifetime and an eternity of knowledge. I would certainly recommend it to anyone desirous of perfecting his person.

This is truly a masterpiece. I ordered this for my husband's birthday. He loves it. It weighed 60 kilos and the delivery was excellent. I recommend this for anyone who is interested in the English language, who writes, or who just wants to leaf through a fascinating history of the language.

Practical Dimensions
2010年4月16日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
When ordering furniture, prudence dictates some allowance be made for the size of the furniture and floor plans. Housing dimensions are always wishful mental impressions which are rapidly brought down to earth when the actual stuff arrives.
When ordering the Oxford English Dictionary, I recommend preparations for 120 cm (47 to 48 inches) of shelf space to be set aside. 4 feet is safe. Anything less than 4 feet is slicing it a bit thin. Very few shelves today are more than a metre (37-38 inches)wide. I run mine across two shelves with the planks at the same height. Anything less spacious and all 20 volumes will be wedged so tightly that retrieval of individual volumes become tiresome. I cover my volumes with plastic wrap, some uncompressed area every few volumes avoids "stickiness" and helps the hand grasp a volume.
Each volume is slightly more than 2 inches thick. They are not of uniform thickness. Volumes 1-10 is about 1.5 inches wider on the shelf than Volumes 11-20.
The height of the shelves should be just over 32 cm. 13 inch height is fine. Anything more and the volumes will not look aesthetically pleasing. Such an august collection should not look as if it were an ill-fitting after-thought. Too much head space in the shelf is to be avoided.
Getting a shelf 30 cm or 12 inches deep should not be a problem.
For 20 years, my first set sat on scandinavian solid pine 1 inch thick shelves, so that was uneventful, but such furniture is now virtually unavailable. Another set meant for more robust use sat on half inch thick shelves made of tropical teak ply, each 32 inch wide. After a few months, the two shelves started bowing (warping downwards at the centre). There were some other books on these shelves to act as "book-ends". I turned over the teak ply planks, only to have them bow from convexity to concavity again. I bought some extra half inch planks and two planks held the Dictionary without them warping downwards.
I would advise against IKEA "Billy" shelves (suggested by a reviewer) for long term use. Other lighter volumes (like law journals) have collapsed a shelf every now and then, spilling the books on to the floor. Perhaps the fault was in my poor workmanship as an outsourced assembler of otherwise sturdy Swedish furniture. The volumes look solidly bound to survive such a fall, but I am loathe to crash-test them.
The weather in my country is tropical, and is harsh to books. The Dust Jacket colour has held up extremely well, with no noticeable deterioration of colour over 20 years. The page edges are blue-speckled, and my earlier type-set in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England and MANUFACTURED IN THE USA shows some additional light brown speckling from age. Otherwise it is like the day it was bought. There is no mention of where it was printed. The latest sets are printed in China (it says so on the box and in the book), and the jury is out on which country produces the better product. For example, Volume 15 2002 7th reprint in the USA weighs 2.8 kg, while the same Vol 15 8th reprint PRINTED IN CHINA on acid-free paper weighs 3.0 kg. The Printed in China volume looks less glossy, and duller, which makes the print easier to read, and feels far more solid. I prefer the United States marque although evidence in the physical product points to the contrary.
It is a dilemma looking at the three versions: 1989, 2002 and the present China one, each having its own merits. The irony is that the 2002 version from Fulfilment by Amazon (click under "see 2 other formats") from Intelligent Entertainment is $799.99; the USA product being $200 to $400 cheaper than the China product is an irony when the balance of trade points to the contrary. Maybe the Chinese, as they told you in their 2008 Olympics, were the inventors of paper and had several millenia advantage over Yankee newbies.
20 years ago, I bought the Oxford for the USD equivalent of about $4,000, and shipping from England cost about $800 and it took 3 months to arrive. Nowadays, a set with the CD is just 1,099. And Amazon got it to Singapore by Standard Shipping by DHL from USA to Singapore in just 3 days for a mere $71 dollars.
It got cheaper when I ordered the 2002 reprint from the Amazon Fulfilment centre, at USD799. The shipping was just a nominal $9.99 (the same as a normal book - $5 plus 4.99 for an overseas Standard Shipping). And Amazon delivered it by DHL in just 3 days yet again, and again. For the price of ONE set in 1989, I can have multiple sets in 2010. Plus instant gratification too. I do not have to worry about misplacing a volume any more. In 1989, a Manhattan apartment cost around $40,000, so $4,000 for the Oxford was a 10% down-payment on an apartment.
I thought I should put things in perspective if anyone is wondering if the 20 volume set is good value for money. The only considerations in acquisition are: (1) the availability of 4 feet of shelf space, and
(2) current fortuitous availability of disposable income, which otherwise might have been misspent elsewhere.
Fortunately, I live in an area where tropical hardwood shelves are bountiful. My dvd collection looks great on stylish IKEA shelves, but I urge caution when using the terms "IKEA" and "OXFORD 20 VOLUME SET" in the same context.
July 2010 update: I have had the 20 volume set on a professionally assembled IKEA basic economy "billy" 30 inch bookshelf and it seems to have held up well for months. The $50 shelf and the $799.99 Fulfilment by Amazon USA set placed within arm's reach of my work station really encourage its use, even over the Shorter Oxford, which is on the same Ikea bookshelf.
Christmas 2010 update: The same stuff plus CD Rom under "Oxford English Dictionary Set" is just $1,091.78. So if clicked "Check Out" under this heading, you would be paying about $200 extra. If you were suckered, write to Amazon to demand a refund.
I take the point of another reviewer that the cost of the Oxford does fluctuate from time to time. The 20 volume set with the CD-rom Version 4.0 dropped from $1,299 to $1,099 during the three months when it was "out of stock" at Amazon in 2009. The CD rom ($220 if bought separately) is thrown in for just $100 more, now that 20 volume Hard Copy+ CD is in stock.
That reviewer's claim that he got his set at only $300, during what must be a Black Friday Gold Box flash sale, rubs salt into wound. The same Oxford is readily available today for what is less than a month's mortgage payment on the same time-travelled Manhattan apartment. However, that claim of a give-away $300 for 20 volumes grates on my nerves.
I want to whack that guy on the head with a volume of Oxford. Individual volumes of the Oxford are finely balanced and handles well for its size, both for reading as well as for use as a blunt instrument.
