I am astounded at the review that is listed below me. Talk about nit-picking!
This is the only pocket dictionary that is sturdy enough to carry around in your pocket without falling apart in days. The Oxford dictionary is held together with cheap glue. This is just fine for my purposes. If I need to look up an obscure word I just wait until I get home to my bigger dictionary.

I found this Dictionary very helpful as a quick reference while traveling within The Dominican Republic. It was easy to move through and would recommend it as a reference guide for anyone learning Spanish.

Good size to carry in a cargo pant pocket. Very useful and convenient Spanish to English as well as English to Spanish dictionary.

I got this to carry in my car so I could translate the Spanish-language signs around town. Drawback is that I may have to also carry a magnifying glass since the print is really tiny. Really Tiny!!

This book is a find. The entries are clear and, for its size, rich. It superbly organized with useful lists of regular verb conjugations and irregular verbs. It is tough. I've taken it to Guatemala where I've kept in a back pocket, used it in the rain, and paged through it innumberable times. The binding, cover, and pages remain free from tearing, crumbling or otherwise disintegrating. Also unsurprisingly I like its size. It is lightweight and will fit anywhere, but unlike other pocket books, it does not offer an oversimplified version of its subject.

Dimensions: 5.5 x 3.5 x 1 inch(es), so it won't actually fit in your pocket unless you have a big pocket but it's a great buy!

This is a very small and very handy Spanish dictionary. It is small enough for a purse or small backpack and easy to use.

For the size (and it is very compact), this is a great little dictionary. It's perfect for traveling, and I found that it worked well in Latin America (includes Lat. Am word uses as well). Highly recommended.

Great reference! I purchased this dictionary to use while brushing up on my Spanish thru a conversational Spanish class. Every time I have needed to reference a word, this book has allowed me to get the appropriate word quickly!

This little book was my go-to reference during a mission trip to El Salvador. I took high school Spanish nearly 20 years ago, so I have a foundation, but my vocab is lacking. This little book was a HUGE help! I kept it in my purse or pocket (or outside on the ground while I was working!) the entire trip. I literally referenced it all day long. It held up incredibly well, fit perfectly in my bag, and always met my vocab needs. Highly recommend it.
