Boldface Words

a physical Dictionary Collection


This is a partial list of my modest dictionary collection. These are just title keywords for the moment; sometime soonish I'll be updating the list and converting it all to a searchable database. 

So far, the collection doesn't contain many particularly valuable or rare books. I look for "special interest" vocabularies more than books of great monetary value. The only almost strict rule is that the word "dictionary" must appear in the title. I accumulate dictionaries just because I like them -- and their widely varying contents.

If you'd like to natter about any of this, or if you want me to look up a word for you, please e-mail me. I'd like to hear from other dictionary aficionados (if you're out there?) and I'm willing to trade off my duplicates for other new titles.
