It’s available on Prime. I put it on my watch list. I’ve long wanted a copy of the OED, but it’s terribly expensive.

Is the OED still available in a print version? Some years ago, an archival quality print addition was being offered, along with a continuing subscription to the annual supplements. That tempted me, but it was a very large commitment of already overcommitted shelf space. I already scratched that itch with the National Historical Society’s reprint of the Civil War OR’s, and to do it again, I’d need a bigger house.

There is an online subscription, but I have free access through my public library. Many libraries make it available, as do many schools. Go down and renew your library card, skirting the drag queen story hour in the children’s reading room, and inquire.
