Larousse Concise Dictionary: Spanish-English / English-Spanish Review
I use this edition myself. It's not only the best of the so-called "concise" dictionaries (in my opinion, nearly 1,300 pages is hardly "concise"), but it rivals in range and usefulness the most exhaustive of the larger, hardcover volumes. It's true that the larger, hard-to-handle book obviously contains more words and definitions, but I look at it this way: How often do you need to consult a larger book? I keep Larousse on my desk. At the moment, I'm preparing a Spanish version of my new translation of Mark's Gospel in More Bible Wisdom for Modern Times: Selections from the Early New Testament. Right now, I'm up to Chapter 12 and not once have I been forced to leave my desk and search a larger book for a more suitable word. Admittedly, Mark's vocabulary is pretty basic (and I have reflected this simplicity in my translation), but, if anything, that makes this Larousse even more useful, as it forces me to resist any temptations to use a less familiar or more picturesque vocabulary.

For what I paid for this book... I have to say that I was not expecting the binding to rip off.
