I'd give this five stars, but I have to have something to rate the OED at. Web3 is the next-best thing, which is truly saying something. It's showing its age a bit in the lack of newer terminology, but it's a fantastic unabridged dictionary. If you can't afford the OED, get this one. (It's also on CD-ROM at Amazon for about US$45)
I love this book so much I own two copies. One is old, from an estate sale, published in the 60's and the other is new, a gift to myself.
