something of?

Is it possible to say, "something of dictionary?" in the same way you say "something of a poet or etc."
  

Top answer

Something of a dictionary is technically possible, I suppose, but I wouldn't normally expect to see it. Generally, a book is either a dictionary, or it's not.

I could guess what you meant by this:

This little book is something of a dictionary.
