>>
>>9921350
how much cheaper really tho, i dont mind spending a bit more for new shit
>>
>not using bookdepository

Best acquisition in the would be the Oxford dictionary and thesaurus, but I highly doubt you'll ever actually use it.
>>

Don't listen to these fucks making fun of you for picking up books you're interested in.

I do have to ask you though, why the dictionary? Any word you don't know can be googled for free.
>>
>>9921396
the dictionary i got is old published 93',iv only had it couple month,- fuck google
i will get better books as i spend more money
>>
>>9921396
Google is becoming less reliable as their definitions are becoming politicized and "modernized". Go google what an oven is.

Stick with the old ones and you're fine. Oxford suffers the same thing.
>>9921461
Because that's not what an oven is. An oven is the 1st definition and is what everyone is looking for. The 2nd definition is literally only there because MUH SHOAH MUH SIX GORRILION.

It wasn't even part of the google definition until semi-recently and isn't even the only word to suffer this. Look at bigot, it's stripped of any nuance and want to know why? Because of current politics. Who uses bigot the most? Leftists. Who runs google? Leftists. Who would benefit from dumbing down a word or adding a definition to give it more importance? Someone with a political agenda.

There are many other words that suffer these definitions and most of them are recent changes within the last 2 years. This is why you should get an old dictionary instead of using the internet. Same thing for shit like wikipedia, sources are becoming very low quality as some articles source places like Salon.

While I agree with the political stuff being bullshit...

>Look at bigot, it's stripped of any nuance and want to know why? Because of current politics.
This happens everywhere and all times.

>This is why you should get an old dictionary instead of using the internet.
The internet isn't just google. I'm quite certain you can use those 'older' dictionaries online as well.

>Same thing for shit like wikipedia, sources are becoming very low quality as some articles source places like Salon.
You shouldn't ever use wikipedia as the be-all and end-all source of information, anyway. Add to that the fact that you've got to be looking up some pleb page in order to have Salon as a viable source in the first place.

No need to go full retard and rail against the entire internet.

Gulag Archipelago. I don't necessarily recommend abridged but then again you could use it to wet your whistle and see if you're interested in the full book.
