Because Im in the US I was hesitant to buy Chambers. But since the price is so low I took the plunge. Now I cant understand why I ever hesitated. This is one of the best Dictionaries of the English language available and it plugs right into WordWeb for cross referencing. I also got the Chambers Thesaurus which Im equally happy with. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic
Great value
I use the Chambers Dictionary and companion Thesaurus app on a regular basis. The definitions are concise yet provide the full range of multiple meanings. I particulary like being able to browse the previous and next set of entries in the sidebar, which is great when you want to quickly glance at similar words. Likewise with the companion Thesaurus app installed, you can quickly toggle between the dictionary and thesaurus with a single-click. Great value for the money. It’s the only dictionary I use.
