Spanish-English Dictionary

This is an excellent reference for students of English or Spanish. The book is attractive and durable, with a vinyl cover, and convenient size. The type is readable, with the word to be defined printed in blue for easy lookup. I have used this dictionary extensively in my adult ESL classes and the students have really made use of them.
