Whereas Oxford University Press have kept Skeat’s larger Etymological Dictionary in print, at a mere £145.00, their website makes no mention of this Concise Etymological Dictionary.

Beware – the hardback reprint published by Cosimo Classics and available at £35.49 on The Website That Is Intent on World Domination is of the 1901 edition, whereas Skeat revised and corrected the book further and issued his final edition in 1911.  Our copy is the 1976 reprint of the 1911 edition – see the preface to our copy below.
