5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, so many! Which one to choose?, May 8, 2006

This review is from: Webster's New World Spanish Dictionary (Paperback)

While preparing for a trip to Mexico recently, I decided that I needed a travel size Spanish English dictionary. Looking through the selection, I really didn't know how to choose one, but then I realized that I was quite happy with my Japanese English dictionary from Webster's New World. I got the Spanish dictionary (travel size, cheap paperback edition), and I was not disappointed. I also ended up with the Random House one on the same trip, and although the Random House one is OK, I like the Webster one much better. I gave the Random house one to a friend, and kept the Webster.

Frankly, I can't remember which words I compared between the two, but I did several times, and found the Webster to be preferable.

This review is from: Webster's New World Spanish Dictionary (Paperback)

It was hard to choose between a 4 and a 5. Although it provides many different meanings and is very well designed, I find that it includes many words that people would rarely use in Spanish like condom, penis, and other such unnecessary words when other more important terms are not included for my knowledge gaining. I believe that this dictionary is the cream of the crop for non-natives like me.
