Product Description:
Compiled by expert teams of Spanish and English lexicographers and boasting a beautiful two-color layout, the Oxford Spanish Dictionary provides the richest, most contemporary coverage of Spanish from around the world. The result of thorough research using sophisticated computer programs to search for new terminology and ensure that all the latest vocabulary from Latin American Spanish and American English is covered, this superb resource covers over 24 varieties of Spanish as it is written and spoken throughout the Spanish-speaking world--from Spain to Mexico, from Peru to the River Plate. Here now is a major new edition of this leading Spanish-English dictionary, with more than 4,000 new words added, plus many other new features. With over 300,000 words and phrases, and half a million translations, the Oxford Spanish Dictionary is the ultimate resource and the first place to turn for answers to all Spanish-English language questions. The dictionary includes extensive coverage of business, IT, and scientific terminology, and contains completely revised information on the cultures of Spanish and English-speaking countries. As in previous editions, there are thousands of sample sentences to illustrate meaning and usage, special emphasis on idioms and regional expressions, and extensive glosses for easy identification of senses, style, levels, and more.

- Oxford Spanish Dictionary
I love this dictionary! I use it all the time and would be lost without it. Yes, it is big, but....Oxford makes all sizes of this dictionary. I would difintly recommend this to everyone. It is well worth it!

- El diccionario
Overall, I really like this dictionary. I bought it for use in an Advanced Spanish Composition course and it certainly has plenty of words in it.

2 drawbacks:
1. The definitions are not always quite clear. For example, los militares means the people in the military, not just the military in general as one might assume from the entry in the book. Subtle, but important when writing. wordreference.com tends to be a little more clear.
2. It's huge! I tend to call it the blue beast. If you are looking for a dictionary to carry with you, don't get this one. If you are looking for a comprehensive desk dictionary, this one is for you.

However, despite those 2 things, I highly recommend this dictionary.

- CD provides instant word look-up as you read internet or other text
This is an outstanding dictionary. I have been using it, in one format or another, for many years. (I now have the Palm PDA version on my handheld - not as full of features as the CD Rom version, but just as complete, and super when I'm on the go).

One outstanding feature is that the CD Rom version permits you to click on words in other text you are reading on the computer, and immediately see the translation of that term in the dictionary (see below).

The CD Rom dictionary is very easy to install on your PC, does not need much memory or disk space, and is very easy to use.

Some of the Best Features:
* Type a word in English or Spanish and it appears in the definition pane immediately.
* Click on a word in the definition pane, and THAT definition appears immediately.
* Select the "advanced search" feature to type a phrase or partial phrase. You will see a ... Read More
