Book Reviews of Oxford Spanish Dictionary

Book Review: Best I've ever used ...
Summary: 5 Stars

... and from where I sit I can see at least five, with more lurking around the house. Other reviews have covered in-depth why this dictionary is the best, but I had to add my dos centavos. Everything I've tried looking up in it has been there, including words / phrases omitted by the other dictionaries. It also includes a tremendously helpful reference section on proper correspondence (both English and Spanish). Examples are given for travel plans, personal letters, business letters, email format and addressing envelopes.

I also appreciated that the dictionary is very clear as to the proper term to use in any given context. (I won't even go into my using the word "reloj" instead of "mira" when I wanted to say "Watch the sunset..." It never would have happened if I'd had this dictionary at the time.) Sample sentences are a great help. The blue entry words are a nice touch - not strictly necessary, but helpful in finding the main word for long involved definitions.

The only thing that I might consider a negative point is the size - and that's only if you're looking for a travel dictionary. It's 3 inches thick and very heavy. If it's a stay-at-home / school / work book, the size is reassuring - you know anything you need will be in there, and it feels good and substantial like a dictionary should.

Overall, I love this dictionary and highly recommend it. Sometimes if I'm bored, I'll even flip through and read it for fun.
