This review is from: The Oxford Spanish Minidictionary (Paperback)

This dictionary is the perfect travel companion for travellers to Spanish-speaking countries. It is written clearly, easy to read and makes clear the gender of nouns. The definitions are ranked in order of most common usage. The only problem is that is is European Spanish and not Latin American. However, it is still useful in Latin America.
