This large print dictionary makes word-finding unbelievably easy! It has large print so that words can be found quickly. And it's perfect for those who have a hard time seeing. It's not that hard to find a word because whereas with smaller, finer print dictionaries in which the words are all so compacted to fit into a 500+ page book and are much smaller, this book has them printed much larger and yet still has a lot to translate.

I try to find a hardcover Spanish and English Dictionary for a gift, and surprisingly this is the only one available at Amazon. The font is large enough for mature readers without reading glasses and the word collection are good enough for every day usage. The price is amazingly low, Random House has a paperback one and it costs about the same, and Velázquez is a brand I can trust.

My cousin and I got this dictionary because we both translate documents at work, and although it has fewer words than the regular Velazquez, it helps a lot when you read as much as we do, to have larger font words.

I would adsolutely recomend this to anyone who has vision problems. It's a Velazquez. Ofcourse I would recomend it. This one in particular though, is as all Velazquez easy to use, and much easier to read due to the large font. Its cover is pretty sterdy too, so I think it will last me a while.

The book is easy to read, but there's not enough in it. It's missing so many everyday spanish words, I'm doing very basic stuff here but I have to keep going to the computer for help. Another big problem is if the word you're trying to translate from Spanish is an odd verb form, it not only doesn't list the word but won't even point you in the direction of the infinitive form as many other translation dictionaries (Oxford) do.

This dictionary with the large format is perfect for eyes over 50 or those with any kind of visual impairment. The downside is that it isn't as complete as some other small print dictionaries.

This is a good resource to use if you need the words to be a little bit bigger.

The Valazquez Large print Spanish/English dictionary is extremely helpful and informative. I would recommend to others.

My mother is a native speaker of Spanish who passed on to me a love of language and accuracy in expression. In the last few years she has developed trouble in reading small print. I bought this for my mom for Christmas. She has used it constantly to check her understanding of both English and Spanish.
