This book is overflowing with examples, examples, examples! I'm an intermediate
student with at least half-a-dozen dictionaries, and this is probably the most
helpful.
The only weakness -- because there are so many examples, some fairly common
words aren't defined at all.
Still, well worth buying.

A very very practical book that made you enjoy while learning Spanish. I never
seen another dictionary better than this. I wish they had a CD of spoken spanish
going with it. The reason I give a 4, because the paper turned yellow with time,
so I have to set it aside from my other precious books. It's contagious, it's
not acid-free, archival, a term they use in photography in conserving prints. By
the way, I bought 4 of those books to use at home and in my offices.

I have had to learn to speak spanish and this book has helped me so much. I find
most of the words and idioms that are found in it to be pretty much up to date
and usefull.

This, along with a lover who speaks the target language, is one of the truly
indispensible tools of language learning. Language learners typically work their
tails off learning new words only to to be laughed at when they misuse them.
This dictionary goes the extra step and shows the sense of how words are used
with generous, fully translated example sentences. Classroom teachers should
acquire whole sets for daily use. Individuals should get a copy for frequent
reference. You will never use a standard Spanish-English dictionary again.
