Bonus Features of the Collins English Dictionary

The dictionary I mentioned yesterday has some interesting bonus features. If you buy the dictionary, you are given a special 4-digit serial number with which you can access the online version of the dictionary and thesaurus or get downloads for your desktop.

So not only do you get a splendid and very useful dictionary, but you also get online resources with it too.

I've had great fun with the dictionary already. Yesterday, in my Writing Wizard blog, I included a word quiz based on words that can be found in the dictionary. Do log on to Bloglines to have a go at the quiz. You can find it at http://www.bloglines.com/blog/GaleBarker. It's the entry for 26th August 2008. The answers to the questions can be found in the entry for 27th August 2008.
