Actually, the CD-ROM has come down in price - it's £195. I don't think that's bad value - especially compared with the on-line sub!
Amazon are charging £151.09. Rather a strange price, but even better value for money!

Thanks for that - I've added it to my basket and saved for later - which lets you track the price in case they have a moment of madness. I couldn't resist clicking "Tell the publisher! I'd like to read this book on Kindle"

I'm very tempted to buy it myself at that price.

I've got 3.1.1; hopefully, v4 would be even better. They're not very good at providing upgrade routes (or support), and the interface is usually klunky and ugly, but the content is unmatched.

One nice thing that you can do is search the whole of all the entries, so you can find out, for example, everywhere where Star Wars has influenced the language, or all the quotes from a given author.
