      One of my favourite possessions is the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, which is the full 20 volume OED microprinted into 2 large volumes. It comes in a case with a magnifying glass. It's too unwieldy for everyday use, but it's a pleasure to browse through it.

      Yours in mildly wrecked condition for only 23 quid:
