This review is from: Hippocrene Compact Dictionary Spanish-English English-Spanish (Latin American) (Paperback)

I do not understand the Amazon merchant pricing for this book as I paid only $8.95 for my copy at a local bookstore. On a two week trip to Costa Rica when I came across a word I wanted to look up it was never to be found in this little dictionary. After a dozen unsuccessful attempts to find Spanish words in the dictionary I gave up and left it in the glove box for the remainder of the trip.

It is OK for going from English to Spanish as you can select from the available words to craft your sentences. the words may not reflect local idioms but the people understand what you are trying to say and appreciate the effort in any event.
