My Webster's New World Dictionary of American English (Third College
Edition, 1988) sits right next to the computer where I write.
We have an older (falling apart!) OED in the living room on a library table,
where the kids can get to it. I got that one real cheap - the local public
library where we used to live regularly sold off reference books as they
replaced older editions with new ones. I think I paid $20 for it, 10 years ago.
