Do they still make the Random House Unabridged Dictionary Second Edition? And if so, what's the most current edition available?
What's the most current edition of the Webster's Third New International Dictionary?

Just found this post. I believe the two-volume OED (with magnifier) was complete through 1939 (?). Since then, I don't know.

I also heard from a librarian the Webster's Second New International edition is better than the Third (more etymologies?).

Anyone can put the name Webster on a dictionary, so don't be fooled there.
