Published in 2001: Still a standard, best-selling reference after more than 40 years, the tenth edition of the Abbreviations Dictionary continues its tradition of accuracy and comprehensiveness that has made it a classic. "...this volume is essential. Its worth is enhanced by a listing of nicknames and appellations that are otherwise likely to be incomprehensible to foreigners...an essential addition to public, academic, and corporate reference libraries."
-The San Diego Union
"This book has it all...besides being informative, the book is interesting and fun."
-Veterinary and Human Toxicology
"This is a useful book and should appeal to the individual or library acquisitions director with a limited budget."
-Verbatim

"An up-to-date source for locating some of the most elusive segments of our language."
-Booknotes
"[This] compilation of abbreviations, acronyms, eponyms, terms, etc., is an excellent source for information that is not found in other works."
-Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association
"The classic status of this title endures: abbreviations are again joined by a dazzling array of acronyms, contractions, initials, nicknames, short forms, signs and symbols. Its 15,000 new terms swell the dictionary to nearly 300,000 entries?excellent and unique?"
