    Absolutely Superior Spanish/English dictionary!5
    Barron's is the only portable Spanish/English dictionary I found (after perusing about 30 of 'em) that had ALL of the words on my list of twenty difficult/obscure Spanish words. Others this comprehensive were huge tomes, much too large to carry around.

    In addition, Barron's often gives both the Spanish word used in Spain and the one used in Mexico or other places in Latin America when they are different. This is PRICELESS!

    For example, the "proper" Spanish word for "cufflinks" is "gemelos" but in Mexico, the words "mancuemas" or "mancuernillas" are used. Barron's NAILS this! BIG BONUS!

    It has a durable-looking plasticized binding that I think will withstand heavy use.

    best Spanish-English Dictionary money can buy5
    This dictionary is excellent. It gives very detailed translations and excellent explanations. Plenty of cultural background info and a very ample variety of words. Worth overy penny.

    Perfect for text research5
    Barron's seems to be the only dictionary series with syllable keys for most of the words, so this is invaluable for text analysis researchers.

    It also includes a nice grammar section, very durable cover, and free online download (in Palm Pilot format).

    Without a doubt the best dictionary series out there. I have German and Spanish, and they are both top notch.
