(urth) Looking for dictionary recommedations

[Kate Savage]

I am looking for dictionary recommendations. I would like to purchase a good reference book for all those obscure word's Wolfe use that I have never seen before. I am thinking if getting a used copy of the Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary but it isn't the handiest format for casually looking up unfamiliar words. I am also thinking of the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. 
   
  Any other suggestions?
   
  Thanks in advance.
