Review :
"As a compendium of lexicographical knowledge, this handbook of lexicography can be said to be second to none as it rivals its predecessors both in scope and variety [...] The handbook’s comprehensiveness is reflected not only in the variety of topics, languages, and countries covered therein but also in the impressive array of its contributors." - Yongwei Gao, Springer Nature 2018
