Works for me!

As an intermediate-level student of German, this dictionary absolutely works for me! Obviously written to be a usable reference for people of either native language. However I don't recommend it for beginners in either language. I have never NOT found the word I'm looking for in this monster. As another reader pointed out, yes, the lack of plural forms of German nouns on the English half is inconvenient. Also includes small grammar reviews of English and German (each written in the opposite lang.), lists of irregular verbs, Rechtschreibreform info, instructions on how to write letters in the correct forms in both languages (British letters, not American ones) and canned phrases for condolences, congratulation, etc. A great book!

And since this apparently is not provided for, I am now using this space. My problem is this. When I want to buy a dictionary, a very essential information is how many words that dictionary has, and it would thus be nice if you could provide that information.
