Houghton Mifflin is pleased to announce the release of The American Heritage® College Dictionary, Fourth Edition — the ideal resource for students and word lovers everywhere. This thoroughly revised and updated edition appeared in April 2002 and has quickly found its way to bookshelves and desks in homes, offices, and dorm rooms across the country. Along with its wealth of new material, the Fourth Edition bears the same hallmarks that have distinguished the American Heritage® name since its inception: an accessible and readable defining style, an inviting graphic design, and informed guidance on today's usage issues.
