5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome clarity and legibility, excellent ergonomics, July 2, 2007
By 
Raul Saavedra (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Diccionario esencial de la lengua espanola de la Real Academia Espanola (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Just coming from the bookstore I felt like writing a positive review about this book. In particular, I'd like to comment on how impressed I was at the clarity and legibility of the typography in this particular dictionary.

I own the "DRAE" (Diccionario de la Real Academia) in two volumes, small edition, also published by the "Real Academia Española". The small and narrow printing in that edition of the DRAE is truly aweful, making it really uncomfortable and uninviting -even painful- to use. This dictionary, on the other hand, and in my humble opinion, is a showcase of typographical clarity.

The paper used in this book is extremely smooth to the touch and very slightly smoked clear white. Letters are precisely imprinted over that smooth canvas using truly sharp black ink, providing excellent contrast. Absolutely no fuzzy/faint/smeared letters. Moreover, the letters are printed using a really nice type, and what is more, in a size particularly comfortable to read. This is such a fortunate combination of typographical variables, in my opinion not that common to find in dictionaries nowadays, regardless of language and publishing company.

The layout is not perfect though. The inner margins of pages could be wider. A narrow inner margin leaves text quite too close to the center of the book. So if the book is bulky enough like this one, it's not so easy to read the entries closer to the center of the book. You need to open it up further, enough to get the inner half of the page flatter in front of you to read it more comfortably. Not a huge deal here, but wider inner margins would have made this dictionary even better.

This dictionary is an "Essential" version of the Spanish language. So while it naturally might not have all the entries in the DRAE, it should have the most important and most useful entries (and then some.) Keep in mind, quite a few entries in the DRAE are actually regarded as useless (obsolete) even by professional writers. So the fact that this dictionary contains just an "essential" selection of the language makes it in my opinion quite an authoritative-enough generic Spanish dictionary, even in front of the DRAE.

But the main point in my review, I wish some of my other many dictionaries (both in Spanish and English) had been printed as nicely as this one, or at least even with a fraction of the combination of printing and typographical choices used in this book.

Thanks and congratulations to the Real Academia for such an improvement over the DRAE 2 vol small edition. This is a much more ergonomic and nicely readable dictionary. (Please don't forget slightly wider inner margins next time :-)

PS. I take the opportunity to recommend an awesome Spanish Usage dictionary, which is also wonderfully printed, a pleasure to use: "Diccionario de Uso del Español Actual CLAVE", Ediciones SM, Madrid, 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Diccionario, November 3, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diccionario esencial de la lengua espanola de la Real Academia Espanola (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Excelente Diccionario -- estoy muy contento con mi compra.
Este es el mejor diccionario de la lengua española que he tenido.
Es muy claro y muy fácil de leer -- de alta calidad.

Muy moderno -- la obra fue registrada en 2006,
pero la primera impresión fue distribuida en 2007-01-15.

En mi opinión, toda familia hispana debería tener una copia de este
diccionario en casa y en la oficina.

Este diccionario NO es un diccionario únicamente para los Españoles de España.
Es un diccionario para todo el mundo Hispano.

Quiero aclarar que, aunque este diccionario fue publicado por
la Real Academia Española, también han contribuido las respectivas academias
de la lengua en América Latina y Las Filipinas.

También, contiene bastante definiciones o notas para usos que son únicas
y específicas de los países de las Américas y las Filipinas.

Ademas, contiene bastante definiciones para palabras vulgares como por ejemplo:
-- chingadazo
-- chingadera
-- chingado
-- chingar
-- chingón

La siguiente lista de asociaciones (que participaron en esta obra)
se encuentra en el dorso del diccionario -- indicando la amplitud
de esta obra -- y su relevancia a nivel global.

La Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española:
=========================================
(1713) la Real Academia Española
(1871) la Academia Colombiana de la Lengua
(1874) la Academia Ecuatoriana de la Lengua
(1875) la Academia Mexicana de la Lengua
(1876) la Academia Salvadoreña de la Lengua

(1948) la Academia Hondureña de la Lengua
(1955) la Academia Puertorriqueña de la Lengua Española
(1973) la Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española

En el dorso del diccionario se encuentran las siguientes notas:

"El léxico esencial y actual del Diccionario académico:
45,000 artículos
110,000 acepciones.

Incluye todo lo aprobado por la Real Academia Española
y la Asociación de Academias en los últimos cinco anos."

También, les recomiendo que visiten el sitio de la Real Academia Española (RAE)
donde encontraran una versión digital de mayor amplitud que contiene muchas
mas palabras y otros recursos -- el sitio se encuentra en: www.rae.es.
Por igual, el diccionario en linea también abarca la lengua española a nivel global.

This review is from: Diccionario esencial de la lengua espanola de la Real Academia Espanola (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Las definiciones son claras y modernas. También me gusta que se hayan omitido las palabras arcaicas y que hayan colaborado las academias de prácticamente todos los países de habla hispana. Excelente publicación.
