[New-Poetry] Dictionaires????

[jforjames at aol.com]

At the risk of old-fogeyism, I want to mourn the declining use of the print dictionary (or encyclopedia, for that matter).
Nine times out of ten, flipping thru pages, trying to find?the particular?word/entry I was looking for (and sometimes the 
alphabetic sequence would escape me), I'd stumble across a?strange or unusual word?(a new world, one might say).?
You lose some of that randomness, the sidetracking that goes on, with the?online versions.?
