Unabridged dictionary - kept it, recycle it, or sell it?

Sometimes, it's faster to look something up in a dictionary than it is to load Google or a dictionary app and type in what you're looking for. If you play Scrabble, a good print dictionary is invaluable.

I would keep it, but I have a thing for dictionaries.

I have an old battered one that lives on my desk right next to my work space at all times. I use it most days.

i love the idea of tearing one up to put into scrapbooks.

I have one of those huge 20 pound dictionaries and while I never use it anymore, tossing it out doesn't happen either. I also have my high school dictionary with my maiden name in it that I keep for nostalgic reasons.

I also have one. It belonged to my father so it is special to me.

I love all the extra information available in the printed editions. I must say I use a smaller version for daily use.

I make cards from dictionary pages.

I've also printed pictures on a dictionary page, framed it and given it as a gift.

I would keep it. Paper dictionaries are becoming a thing of the past so I think it would be a good thing to keep.

I feel a bit faint just thinking of "getting rid" of an big unabridged dictionary!
For years, my favorite answer to the question "what would you save if ..." was "I have this really great dictionary"!
Clearly ... I'd keep it ... but then, within arms reach of my desk chair are 2 dictionaries, a thesaurus and a Bartlett's ... and dictionary.com is on my desktop, my iPad and my iPhone -- looking up words is about the only thing I enjoy on my Nook.
I've purchased old dictionaries from thrift shops for crafting purposes -- I have no intention of ripping up my own copies!
Keep it -- you never know when you'll have to grab something and head for the desert island! (I just had to check the number of "s" for an arid region v. a tasty sweet!)
