Item description from seller

xii, 754, [2] pages. Text inside both the front and back covers. The text is generally in a two-column format. The book has some wear and minor staining on the cover and on some pages. This large print dictionary meets NAVH standards for the visually handicapped, and still includes 40,000 easy to read entries. It provides clear definitions, a pronunciation guide, and abbreviations. Merriam-Webster, Incorporated is an American company that publishes reference books and is mostly known for its dictionaries. It is the oldest dictionary publisher in the United States. In 1831, George and Charles Merriam founded the company as G & C Merriam Co. in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1843, after Noah Webster died, the company bought the rights to An American Dictionary of the English Language from Webster's estate. All Merriam-Webster dictionaries trace their lineage to this source. In 1964, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., acquired Merriam-Webster, Inc., as a subsidiary. The company adopted its current name, Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, in 1982. This is an important work, providing a snapshot of the state of the art of large print editions of major reference works at the end of the Twentieth Century, and provides a baseline from which to identify when at a later date new words and definitions entered the American and world lexicons. NAVH provides services to the visually disabled of all ages throughout the nation. Our services include low vision consultations in which we assist patients in finding and learning to use appropriate visual aids, lighting and electronic devices; large print educational materials on vision and common eye diseases; referral to eye care specialists; a quarterly newsletter; and self-help groups. Large-print (also large-type or large-font) refers to the formatting of a book or other text document in which the typeface (or font) are considerably larger than usual to accommodate people who have low vision. Frequently the medium is also increased in size to accommodate the larger text. Special-needs libraries and many public libraries will stock large-print versions of books, along with versions written in Braille. The font size for large print is typically at least 18 points in size, equivalent to 24px for a web CSS font size. Different sizes are made to suit different visual needs, with a common rule of thumb to be at least twice the minimum acuity size. The American National Association for Visually Handicapped (NAVH) provides the NAVH Seal of Approval to commercial publishers in the US, for books that meet their large print standards. (Lighthouse International acquired NAVH in 2010. Large print editions of some current books are published simultaneously with regular print editions by their publishers and usually feature the same full-color jackets and jacket design. Public libraries often have large print sections, and many bookstores carry some large print editions. Large Print Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
