This is a decent dictionary for English to French and French to English. Nevertheless, as other as others remarked this is a `compact' dictionary and not a mini or pocket version. The book is rather `weighty' and something you would want nearby and at hand, rather than portable and carry about. The dictionary layout is good and intuitive and navigating should be relatively easy. There are additional useful trappings contained within such as grammar, pronunciation, cultural nuances and bundled in you get 12 months' access to Oxford Language Dictionaries, these are just a couple of examples.With the proliferation of iPhones, windows, android and smart devices people will probably say well a dictionary App will be all we need; I would disagree as some search can be complex, at times, and need further investigation. Therefore, the tactile nature of dictionary is the better choice.For me this dictionary is very good for study, business and beyond.

I needed a new French dictionary and this is the second one I bought. The first was not complete enough. This is a good desk reference, too big to travel with, but well put together. I like the "faux friends" entries which help tone down my "frenglish".

I have two of these... the first one's spine broke easily, but I was not delicate with it either. It got thrown in my bookbag and laid flat on desks, etc. Eventually whole sections came unglued and are now loosely sandwiched between the other pages. The second one I treat much more kindly, because I don't want that to happen again.I still come across words I want to know but cannot find in even this dictionary. Wordreference.com is my savoir.

I just received this book minutes ago and was so excited to receive it on time since I need to take it with me on vacation. Sadly the back cover was torn on the top but I decided I could deal with it. Unfortunately when I opened the dictionary to look up a word the inside spine of the book cracked. This books is very brittle and not good for constant use. The book pages are difficult to open and need to be held down to look up a word. I'm afraid to push it down even slightly for fear the spine will break at that location and pages fall out. The pages are going to fall out now that the inside spine opened up. I've had books like this in the past and pages start to fall out. It looks like a great dictionary but I've had others that were more sturdy. I'm returning it. Really upset since I needed this to take on my vacation!!

I found a first edition in Goodwill. Weighed 6 pounds. Yes, I weighed it. I wanted to find it in paperwork if at all possible, and voila! Found it on . i teach French and take it to each class because I don't know everything. Who does??

This is too thick to cart around much, or travel with, but it is a great, thorough dictionary for use while learning French.

not using it as often as was told by school teacher....

It is pretty good!
