Collins Gem Canadian English Dictionary

It's been the tiny, perfect dictionary since 1902, a popular choice tucked into students' backpacks, desks, and binders, business briefcases, and more than a few purses. Now completely revised, the Collins Gem Canadian English Dictionary contains approximately 18,000 definitions, based on the Collins Pocket Reference English Dictionary Canadian Edition, and the Collins World Bank of English, a comprehensive database of current English speech and writing that contains over 300 million words. Edited by well-known and respected Canadian lexicographer, Fraser Sutherland, the Gem features distinctively Canadian words, expressions, people and places. Plus, it also includes the most recent scientific and technological words and definitions, and contains no difficult abbreviations or symbols.
