Historical and bibliographic context

Webster’s Third New International Dictionary first appeared in 1961 and remains a significant reference in the history of English lexicography. The photographed copyright page of this set includes both 1961 and 1981 copyright notices. Those notices do not, by themselves, establish an exact printing date or first-printing status.

Condition of this particular set

The set comprises two large reference volumes. The supplied photographs show wear at the edges of the blue dust jacket, rubbed corners, paper ageing and handwriting visible on the title-page photograph. Completeness, internal condition and binding integrity should be checked with the seller before purchase.

The owner has provided photographs of the cover, spine and title/copyright pages. Request original images and confirmation of the condition of both volumes before payment.

Availability in Iran

This older unabridged work may interest specialised libraries, language researchers and collectors. The seller does not claim that no other copies exist in Iran. The quoted price is an asking price, not a verified appraisal or evidence of a completed comparable sale.

Authenticity and printing note: Confirm the specific printing, completeness of both volumes and internal condition before completing a purchase.
