4.0 out of 5 stars Very Complete French-English and English-French Dictionary, December 9, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cassell's French-English, English-French Dictionary (Hardcover)

Good, cheap, but doesn't include the newest technical terms. Conjugates 7 verb tenses. Buy the paperback instead. It lists $5. It's a little smaller, and you won't feel back carrying it around or marking it up.
