Oxford Concise English 11th Edition Revised 2008 (Hardback)

Even though this is a British English Dictionary (American spelling of words refer you to the British spelling and British definitions are listed that you might not find in an American English Dictionary) it is a great reference even for Americans because of the short accurate definitions.

From the publisher:

This revised edition also features a new center section, with quick-reference word lists (containing, for example, lists of Unusual Words, and Onomatopoeic Words), and a revised and updated English Uncovered supplement, which presents interesting facts about the English language. The revised edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary also retains such popular features as the Word Histories and Usage Notes that can be found throughout the A-Z text of the dictionary.
