Absolutely!!! This resource is of *critical* importance, and should be bundled with Verbum Silver or Gold and up, along with the English translation, which is already in Verbum. The two could also well be sold as a set, and bundled in some others.

I should add the following quotes from the preface of this work:
The present work was in effect begun about half a century ago when, in imitation of my dear master Mayor, I began to add words and examples to a copy of Lewis and Short. The margins of the first copy became after about five years so crowded that I had to purchase a second, which in its turn has become just as full. Into a third, interleaved, I copied a number of classical examples from Professor Mayor's annotated copies. The inclusion of more than a very small fraction of all these examples was forbidden by the plan of this book, but the information which they furnish lies behind many of its brief statements.
...The staff of the Oxford Latin Dictionary, past and present, have rendered me valuable help.
...The Glossary is intended to include all known 'common' words that, according to the witness of surviving writings and documents, do not occur in the period before A.D. 180 and yet may be certainly or reasonably assigned to a date before A.D. 600.
