I posted essentially this message on the corpora mailing list a few days
ago, but I haven't had any reply. So let's try here as well.

I've been looking into buying the English lexicon produced by EDR. Does
anyone have any experience with it? In particular, I'm interested in
whether it seems accurate, and what it's coverage is compared to (say)
Celex. The level of analysis is about right for my application, so
that's not so much of a concern for me.

Any comments gratefully received.
