OCLC,  1374174298. WorldCat locates 8 copies worldwide (Dartmouth, The Strong, Michigan, Indiana, Harvard, Virginia, Princeton, and UCLA University Libraries). One of the only books published by Bryce in colour and the smallest colour printed book in 1896. Spielmann said, \"The advertisement on the lower cover is unusual. The American Art Assoc. Sale, No. 13. catalogue dates the book c. 1896 and adds ‘Very rare. We know of but one other copy.’ This remark is not quite justified. Although certainly scarce, quite a number of copies of this item have been seen, but never with the advertisement on the cover”.  This copy was purchased in 2025 from the direct descendant of publisher David Bryce via his grandaughter, Bridgie Unicume, and the association is documented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camden Lock Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56202984292731,"sku":"f26.207","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0430\/3313\/3212\/files\/P4119746.jpg?v=1775908518","url":"https:\/\/camdenlockbooks.com\/products\/bryce-david-son-glasgow-advertising-bryces-diamond-english-dictionary","provider":"Camden Lock Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
