What reviewers say about OED Online:

"For anyone who loves to fossick though the pages of a great dictionary, the OED Online is a remarkable experience... In the history of the English language, then, 14 March 2000 deserves to be compared to 15 April 1755, the publication day of Dr Johnson's Dictionary."
   - Robert McCrum, The Observer

"Quick to access and easy to use... A browser's paradise."
   - Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, The Times

"The OED will instantly become the internet's biggest, most prestige-laden reference book... The site is elegant, image-free and lucidly signposted with a range of handsome fonts."
   - John Ezard, The Guardian

"The OED has worked hard to make its site work well. Using it is simple and, unlike a paper dictionary, it can easily be accessed on a number of levels."
   - Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times

"An incomparable monument of scholarship, one of the wonders of our age."
   - Nature

"A much-needed new-media setting for appreciating the richness and history of the English language."
   - Wall Street Journal

"The new OED Online is even better than before... The Bottom Line: Oxford English Dictionary (OED) Online is highly recommended for reference collections in academic, public, and special libraries."
   - Library Journal
