A great dictionary

[William Ryan]

I have just been skimming through Stephen Marder's "A Supplementary 
Russian-English Dictionary" and can thoroughly endorse the opinions 
already expressed. This is a major revision of the first edition both in 
presentation and content - a lot has happened to Russia and Russian 
since the first edition appeared in 1991. All libraries at institutions 
with an interest in Russian should get it. Many thanks to Marder for 
writing it and to Slavica for publishing it.
I do hope though that queries in SEELANGS about the meaning of 
colloquial, slang, and jargon words which have not been recorded in the 
standard dictionaries of 'literary' Russian will not now entirely dry up 
- they have produced some of the more interesting and amusing exchanges.
