Works for me!
As an intermediate-level student of German, this dictionary absolutely works for me! Obviously written to be a usable reference for people of either native language. However I don't recommend it for beginners in either language. I have never NOT found the word I'm looking for in this monster. As another reader pointed out, yes, the lack of plural forms of German...

large vocabulary, but poorly written
I bought this book because I am a German student, and I thought that this book would be the best. However, there is a major problem. In the English to German section, no plurals of any nouns are given. You must look the word up again in the German to English section to find the plurals. This is a huge inconvenience, and I am sorry I bought the book.

However I don't recommend it for beginners in either language. I have never NOT found the word I'm looking for in this monster. As another reader pointed out, yes, the lack of plural forms of German nouns on the English half is inconvenient. Also includes small grammar reviews of English and German (each written in the opposite lang.), lists of irregular verbs, Rechtschreibreform info, instructions on how to write letters in the correct forms in both languages (British letters, not American ones) and canned phrases for condolences, congratulation, etc. A great book!

The book has 260, 000 words and phrases and 450, 000 translations. If you clicked on the cover, the information is on it.

Read before buying ANY German/English Dictionary!,

I am a German teacher, and I just wanted to tell all of you students of German the same thing that I tell my students. PLEASE do not buy a dictionary until you are proficient in the language, because you will waste your money and you will be completely frustrated. Unfortunately you have to know both languages fairly well to use a dictionary. Sorry, but it is the truth, glaub mir! If you are buying a dictionary -- I would recommend the Langenscheidt over this dictionary.

And since this apparently is not provided for, I am now using this space. My problem is this. When I want to buy a dictionary, a very essential information is how many words that dictionary has, and it would thus be nice if you could provide that information.
