The Oxford English Dictionary cotains 20 volumes and over 600,000 words. I don't know anyone who owns this though.

For French, Le Petit Robert has 60,000 entries and 300,000 definitions.
Its competitor, Le Petit Larousse, has 59,000 entries and 150,000 definitions. 
There was also a five-volume dictionary informally called Le Littré that was published until 1877. The unabridged version of its modern incarnation has 100,000 entries contained in 20 volumes plus 6 supplemental tomes. Unlike the other two dictionaries, it includes obsolete words, regional words from across La Francophonie, family names, and extensive etymologies. It'll run you €400 for the whole set.

Yeah, high-quality illustrations and useful appendices is something the French seem to especially value in their dictionaries. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
