Reasonably good effort

This is my first abbreviation/acronym dictionary, so I don't have much for comparison. This one, though, does seem to have quite a bit, though nowhere near what you'd think from the reviews. Many of the 60,000 entries are simply alternate options for a few abbreviations. As for acronyms, many are missing from current technical lingo. I like the book, but for a hardback boasting so many entries, I did expect to find many obscure abbreviations which just don't seem to be there.
