[Ya Sam]

It goes without saying that OED is the best companion when hunting down 
obscure words in Pynchon but it is unlikely that I'll ever get the 20 volume 
set. Hence my question: Does anyone here have the 2 volume SOED? Is it 
enough for you when reading logomaniac authors, would you recommend it?
