Customer Reviews

I disagree

I have to disagree with the previous review. This book, published in 1968 is still enjoyable and relevant today. Mr. Rycroft cross references his terms so well that what begins as a quick look-up becomes a delving into a variety of theoretical constructs. I own Mr. LaPlanche's book as well, and it is a good dictionary as well, but don't miss out on having this in your library. Its good. (Fours stars only for its age)
