In 1568 thin pages, this English-English book combines a full coverage of American and British English with the cultural information you need to understand references to people, places, and events in newspapers, in literature, on TV and in films, as well as in general conversations.
Very good for teachers, students (better in Upper Intermediate or Advanced levels) and cultured people in general.
There is a new 2002 edition that you can find in Amazon (Longman Dictionary of English Language an Culture).
