Amongst 'portable books', the Heinemann English Dictionary is specially designed for use in schools. Not only is each entry very clearly presented, but parts of speech are spelt out in full, not abbreviated as is usual in dictionaries. Pronunciation is explained, and there are pull-out boxes with explanations of the origins of certain words. It has been created with the UK National Curriculum in mind - and has proved to be popular as a reference for the classroom. Very popular and useful.
