As has already been indicated, some things may have changed since 1985.
Without going to the current edition (which I don't have) and checking the
revision history, it would be impossible to say how much. Considering,
however, the (ahem!) blazing speed with which things change in lexicography
in general, I think you may assume that it was not "or what." BTW: the
current edition lists for $145.00 at both Borders and Barnes & Noble. I
won't deal with Amazon so you will need to check their price yourself.
