Oxford vs Penguin?
« on: November 29, 2006, 07:18:40 AM »
Hello guys

I am about to buy a chemical dictionary for my studies at uni. I am interested in either the Oxford Dictionary of Chemistry or The Penguin Dictionary of Chemistry. The former one has 608 pages and the latter 448. Can anyone recommend which one to buy??

Thanks a lot

I have the oxford one and it has been quite useful. It's good if you need a quick definition or a boiling point. Being 200 pages bigger it must have more info in it not necessarily better info,  but  more of it
