Summary: Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary
Comment: This is one of the best and most comprehensive dictionaries I've seen that you can still fit in a backpack. It definitely won't fit in your pocket as the title suggests, but is well worth the bigger size. I used this dictionary while I was studying in Spain for ten months and it helped me more than almost any other source I had at the time. It covers almost every word used by people in colloquial language, has every conjugation of every verb, and covers a lot of grammar. There are only a few grammatical things I found that it didn't cover, such as the subjunctive, but you'd need a whole nother book to cover that. If you're going to study in a Spanish speaking country or want a very comprehensive dictionary, I would highly recommend this one.

Summary: Oxford Dictionary Spanish/English
Comment: This is an excellent resource for both English and Spanish speaking individuals. I use it in my classroom and it is invaluable. Volunteer tutors rely on this to find just the right word while trying to explain something to students. The center section about cultural items is interesting and can be used for classroom instruction.

Summary: Great dictionary, same as the Oxford Spanish Desk Dictionary
Comment: I did a lot of comparison shopping among Spanish-English dictionaries of similar size (or slightly smaller) and like this one best.
I wanted to mention an interesting detail: For some inexplicable reason, the Oxford Spanish Desk Dictionary and the Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary appear to be the same book, and are the same size. The only difference is that the "desk" dictionary is the hardcover version (the listed dimensions are very slightly larger because the hard cover extends beyond the page edges just a bit). The "pocket" dictionary is just the softcover version of same.
Now, why the "desk" version and the "pocket" version are the same size, I'll never know -- and, in fact, this "pocket" dictionary is much larger than a pocket-sized paperback -- not a big deal as long as you know what you are getting.
Nonetheless, a great dictionary, and I highly recommend it. I just thought this was an interesting bit of information.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Extremely practical and useful
Comment: This dictionary's best feature is its integration of idioms and phrases with regular entries. You can look up the first word of an idiom or phrase in either language (such has "home plate," "bittersweet," "take part in," etc.) and find the equivalent in the other language. It's a great conversational tool. It also notes which words and phrases are common in which countries. The only drawback is that if you want to read literature or other more complex works, you will probably need a more extensive dictionary.

This third edition of the Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary covers over 90,000 words and phrases, and 120,000 translations of contemporary Spanish and English, with brand-new words in each language. The grammar supplement provides full information on all the key points of Spanish and English grammar, including verb tables for quick reference, and a correspondence section gives example letters, emails, resumes, and new help with text messaging. Because language is now studied in the context of its culture, the existing culture section has been revised and expanded to offer lively and useful information on life in the Spanish-speaking world. This is the perfect reference for anyone needing an affordable, portable Spanish dictionary.
