Telegraph First published in 1872, The Chambers Dictionary contains more words, phrases and meanings than any other single-volume English dictionary. Yet it remains lighter and easier to hold, and now has an even more durable jacket so that it will be a beautiful hardback reference for many years to come. This 13th edition, new for 2014, retains the much-loved features of The Chambers Dictionary , including the unique quirky definitions for certain words. There are over 1,000 new words and meanings, and there is also a brand new two-colour Word Lover's Ramble at the back of the Dictionary, showing how English words and definitions have changed over the history of The Chambers Dictionary . The Chambers Dictionary is now the UK's number 1 selling hardback dictionary. It is regarded as the dictionary of choice for crossword setters and solvers, and is popular with players of wordgames such as Scrabble(R) and Words With Friends(R). It is famous for its Scottish heritage, its thorough coverage of obscure words and its unique personality that comes across in a definition style that is both useful and witty. "Chambers stands out like a baroque mansion in a city of faceless concrete." Melvyn Bragg Review: Lovely book - Beautiful dictionary Review: THE dictionary to have - Short of the Oxford English Dictionary Online, which is excellent but requires a somewhat expensive annual subscription, The Chambers Dictionary is the must-have reference for those who work with the English language on a daily basis. This 13th edition comes with the usual informative sections on the history of the English language, the varieties of English, using the dictionary, spelling rules, etc etc. But the gem is the final essay entitled "The Word Lover's Ramble" by Trevor Barnes, dated 2014, an essay based on research into every edition of Chambers starting from 1871, which highlights fascinating historical trivia on words and how they have changed their meaning over time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #567,009 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #65 in Dictionaries (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 518 Reviews | ## Images ![The Chambers Dictionary, 13th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MUEPQxpDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely book *by P***. on May 8, 2026* Beautiful dictionary ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE dictionary to have *by I***N on May 17, 2019* Short of the Oxford English Dictionary Online, which is excellent but requires a somewhat expensive annual subscription, The Chambers Dictionary is the must-have reference for those who work with the English language on a daily basis.
