Summary: Indispensable
Comment: Excellent resource. I have not yet bought my own copy of the 1996 edition, even though I really need one. What has kept me away from buying it are the complaints from other reviewers about the illegibility of certain entries. Whoever sees this, especially those who have reviewed the 1996 (big LSJ), please
e-mail me and let me know how bad the problem really is. Are all copies like this or just some? For it seems that some people (among the reviewers) have not had this problem with their editions, or that they at least don't complain about it. My e-mail is [email protected]. Thank you in advance.

Summary: Books are better.
Comment: I do not recommend that you buy the digital version of Liddell-Scott. If you are wishing to save space I might recommend the Intermediate edition. But the replacement of books by on-line resources is one of the saddest trends in academia. The Perseus Project, for instance, may be a useful tool but it's just not the same as thumbing through a green Loeb. This big heavy book of blue won't "crash" or keeping you waiting as it "downloads" or any other sort of gibberish of the age which I might put into quotation marks. In other words, there are many ways to go about the study of Greek, but every one, I insist, includes a handsome stack of books. Some of the other reviews will no doubt be more helpful in describing the contents of this book-- I can only help so far as saying, please, do not computerize ancient Greek (as you read this on your computer).

Summary: Big Liddell Better in Digital Form
Comment: The Big Liddell is a very valuable resource, as a number of other reviewers here have observed. It truly is the premier work of its kind. But it has a few drawbacks.
1 - The sheer weight and bulk of this tome makes it a dedicated desk reference. In fact, you might consider building a special shelf or desk just to hold the book.
2 - The offset printing flaws mentioned by other reviewers is a significant problem. Portions of some entries are not even legible.
The Big Liddell is the kind of book that would be much more valuable in digital format than in print. There's been talk about an electronic version for some time, and it looks like we might finally get one soon ...
