Yup, there'll be one. And it'll be at a price that normal people can afford. If Book-of-the-Month Club picks it up like they do now, that'll be even nicer. But it won't be for sale for a couple of years after the big second edition is published. I couldn't possibly imagine why... Tim Bray, New OED Project, U of Waterloo

Michael Morrell's question: > Does anyone know of any plans to print a "reduced" version of the Second > Edition (similar to the currently available two-volume version of the First > Edition plus Supplements)? ...has been answered affirmatively by Tim Bray. However, there's one other thing that has not been pointed out. Namely, that the First Edition plus all the Supplements makes *three* reduced volumes. The third volume, consisting of Supplement-ary matter only, is available on its own for a price which I don't remember except that it's between $50 and $100.
