It is! This particular dictionary had been my best buddy when I was in high school - it had all kinds of wonderful appendices -- names and their origins, how to address letters to all kinds of dignitaries, word origins. Sparked so many interests. I used to take it into the bathroom to read. My mother would get so annoyed, finding it on the back of the toilet tank every night - and she'd scold me, saying I'd get hemorrhoids before I graduated high school!
