I have this book--bought it for nine dollars at a second-hand book store in Berkeley, Ca. I have always thought it is the most over-rated Greek dictionary. Not worth the space it takes up--fortunately, it takes up very small space... It's certainly not worht $24.

I have the third printing, March, 1966, of the University of Oklahoma Press 1958 edition of this volume. So far as I can tell the only change from earlier editions would be editor Robin McCoy's preface. Sample pages from the print edition appear identical with known errors retained in the body. The edition I have does include "Corrections from Previous Printings" immediately following the Preface or the fourth page counting the title page. It would be good to incorporate the corrections into the Logos edition if possible. So there are seven corrections in line references, five words with additional line references, one correction in alphabetical order, and one word with an additional definition. I haven't done much with Homer since 1966, but in retirement I would like to revisit the Greek editions. Logos' "seamless integration" would be ideal.
