Customer Reviews

Great "used" book!

I knew the content of the Vox Dictionary would be very useful, they always are. But given that I was getting a "used" book I feared it might be a bit messy. Not really at all! Sure there are a couple marker marks on the outside of the pages, big deal! Not a single page is missing, damaged or even written on! The covers are intact and tidy. Its binding is strong and solid. This is the way to buy a book!

Most complete eng-span dictionary I've seen.

I've used this dictionary now for a few years to learn new vocab and even some verb conjugations, and even with medical jargon (I'm a med student), the book rarely fails to deliver.

Handy--even for fully bilingual people.

I agree with everyone else...this dictionary is complete and concise. I am a comparative literature major and this dictionary helps a lot when I have to translate passages on my papers, and when I am trying to get around those distinct words in either English or Spanish which do not have an exact equivalent. So there you go, I highly recommend it.

it's Everything

I am a spanish major and my parents bought me this dictionary. I have never seen such a complete dictionary! Not once in the past 3 years that I have had it, have I not been able to find the word I was looking for. Plus the entries are easy to understand. There are not a bunch of complicated symbols preceeding each word. It is great for beginners and even for more advanced students. I highly recommend it!

I strongly recomended to everyone!

This dictionary is very good and I have used it for many years. I have yet to come across a word that I wasn't able to find. I love the middle section that gives you tons of expressions in one language and gives you the equivalent in the other.
