Oxford English Dictionary
United Kingdom
Wonderful online resource giving 'a truly astounding picture of the English language as an extraordinary living phenomenon' (Robert McCrum). Over 500,000 words, the complete 23 volumes for £350 subscription. www.oed.com If this is a bit steep, there's www.AskOxford.com, but this is really just a consolation prize and too lightweight for serious browsing.
