When Lisa and I were drooling over everything at Two Hands Paperie last week, I stumbled on this wonderful tome. Pictorial Webster's is a alphabetical compendium of all the glorious 19th century illustrations that we remember from the old dictionaries in our classrooms back in the '50's and early '60's. No definitions - just the wonderful pictures!
It's quite weighty - what dictionary isn't? - and I decided it would not be a wise choice to try and get it in my already full suitcase to bring home on the plane. But you can bet the minute I got home it went on my Amazon Wish List!
This looks fantastic!
