print dictionary
Paper word book
A print dictionary is a dictionary published in book form, as opposed to digital or online versions.
The term became necessary only after electronic dictionaries emerged—before that, dictionaries were simply dictionaries.
Print dictionaries offer the advantage of browsability and serendipitous discovery but lack the searchability and updatability of their digital counterparts: I still keep a print dictionary on my desk.
