This Dictionary is one of the best spanish-engilsh dictionaries aI have used. It is easy to use and very handy.

This is the best Spanish-English dictionary I have found. Not only does the dictionary give you the literal meaning of each word, but it adds common phrases, even colloquial ones, that are used with the word. When reading Spanish/English literature, this feature of the dictionary helps immensely in your comprehension of the non-native language.

Vox makes several different editions of Spanish-English dictionaries, so if you found one in the bookstore, make sure it is exactly what you are ordering here. (I didn't!). This dictionary is OK, but the type is a little funky and small. The English usage is British, as you will perceive by all the -ours, and -ises. Also the first section is English-Spanish, and the second is Spanish-English, the reverse of most dictionaries. I am happy enough with this since I am a casual student of Spanish. Heavy users may want one with better looking type and American English.

I started as a novice with this dictionary and now I still use it even as I have professional-level proficiency! Plus, the plasticky covered edition can be taken anywhere since it can even resist from rain/water spills. It's lasted me forever!

One thing that I love of this dictionary is that it have caracters that I can read without a magnifying glass! It is very handle and you can take it every were.
