Summary: More than a dictionary
Comment: I bought this dictionary for my daughter for school. She loves the extras in it, like the phrases and additional notes. She said that makes it even better than she expected. Great choice for high school Spanish class.

Summary: Good but Oxford dictionary is better
Comment: The Vox Compact Spanish-English Dictionary is good, and weighs one pound 12 ounces. The Oxford Spanish Desk Dictionary is better and weighs two pounds. Neither fits in your pocket. I suggest buying either a pocket dictionary for traveling (light), or buying the Oxford dictionary for studying or traveling not so light. There's no reason to buy the Vox dictionary, except maybe price. Also, the Oxford Spanish Dictionary is mis-titled, it should be the Oxford Spanish-Engish Dictionary. It's equally for English speaking learning Spanish or Spanish speakers learning English.

Summary: Spanish-English Dictionary
Comment: This is the best Spanish-English dictionary I have found. I have purchased several for my ESL classes.

Summary: Poorly Made
Comment: Although many people use this dictionary for their classes, I have noticed that they do no spend enough time to update the dictionary. There are many current words that are not in, like blog. However, the most unappeling thing is that their books as poorly make. They one section of the dictionary in one font, and oter sections in another, it looke like they just put pieces together.

I would not recomend it. The paper quality is not the best it rips quite easily too. Not impressed at all.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Varying Dialects
Comment: It is quite complete with all the verb forms, comjugations and tenses that we learned in High School. But, because of the varying dialects, there were a few words I could not find. Living in the Southwest, the Mexican influence over the Spanish is marked. For instance the word 'estraner' or 'te estrano', for "I Miss You" is not in this dictionary which made it a disappointment for me.
