A book I do find value in (a different kind of Words for Wednesday)

     The other day, I wrote about my tussle with myself about keeping my yearbooks--or not.  Today, well, today I feel the call to write about a book I will always keep.  One I hope will get passed on after I die.  I referred to it when I was writing my yearbook post (callous or callus?)  I use it a lot.  Even though there are high tech versions at my fingertips, I love using my dictionary.

      This one was a gift from my parents Christmas 1981.  I know this for sure because my mom shared this:

  I don't know if this qualifies as a "trinket", hold on...nope, looked up trinket and this precious book doesn't fit any of the three definitions.  It is most certainly one of my treasures.  It holds much value, even beyond the definitions for "value" on page 1283.
