Review of Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's Dictionary

Who can offer me the "Review of Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's Dictionary"? I ever read the "Review of Collins Cobuild Advanced...", but what I've been longing to read, is "Merriam-Webster's Advanced...". If there were a review of it, perhaps I could decide whether to buy it or not. Thank you very much!

There are four reviews on one of the Amazon sites.

The paperback edition has 2032 pages, while hardcover edition has fewer pages (1994), does anybody know, what those (2032－1994) pages mainly say? Thanks!

I'm a Chinese, I just wanna buy either of them, but which one is a little better for Chinese learners. And please tell us your reasons. Thanks again.

It's not so hard to answer, personally, I recommend <Merriam-Webster's Advanced Learner's English Dictionary>.
