He also founded and, with his son, David, still edits the Barnhart Dictionary Companion [ BDC ], a periodical report on new words that features the staple of Barnhart lexicography--full, dated citations.
The 1963 and 1980 books are both fine dictionaries, and a book that combines the best of those, carefully re-edited, with some solid, new lexicography based on the BDC , the World Book Dictionary , and the substantial Barnhart files, must be a high-quality dictionary.
Of these 50 entries, 18 come from the 1963 book (4 dropped), all 27 were taken from the 1980, and 5 new items were added: goldbug , golden parachute, gold rush (new sense), golf ball (new sense), and gomer . Two of the five are to be found in the BDC , while entries for all appear in the World Book Dictionary (1989 edition), also produced by the Barnhart staff.
