20 volumes of the OED on their own stand. I don't think it would be little.

I have an old dictionary that my Grandma gave me for my 20th bday, 26 years ago. It's on a wonderful, slightly spindley dictionary stand that I found in an antiques store. The other day, when double checking the spelling of Thucydides I thought, "I really should get a new dictionary." I have a bit of a problem with anthropomorphizing, though, and getting rid of the dictionary from Grandma feels kind of like disrespecting the ancestors. On the other hand, she was a librarian and English teacher, so she'd WANT me to have an up-to-date dictionary! Yes! Thank you, TE grammar grinches, for helping me resolve this thorny dilemma! I'll ask my sibs to give me a new dictionary for my b-day! Problem solved!
