The world’s leading Spanish to English and English to Spanish bilingual dictionary. The perfect resource for all advanced students of Spanish and English. With more than 310,000 words, meanings and phrases and 442,000 translations. First published in 1971, the Collins Spanish Dictionary pioneered a new approach to bilingual dictionary publishing which continues to inspire millions of language users today. With wide-ranging coverage of contemporary Spanish and English, a wealth of examples and idioms, and a clear layout, this remains the ideal dictionary for advanced learners and professionals using Spanish. Up-to-date, with thousands of the latest words from a wide range of areas, for example, the internet, computing and business Thousands of examples and idioms, all based on evidence from a multimillion-word corpus of real Spanish and English Extensive notes on language, grammar and culture, to help the user with typical translation issues Coverage of European and Latin American Spanish Includes the acclaimed Language in Use supplement to help you communicate in natural, idiomatic Spanish Review: Comprehensive, heavy and huge edition for thorough indoor use - The comprehensive hardcover edition in a dust jacket has an enormous A4+ size and considerable weight (2.7 kg). This restricts its use to only inside the room and on the desk. It is very hard to leaf through it standing, holding on one hand. The pages are white but very thin. Leafing through them should be careful to avoid damage. Sometimes two pages feel like a single one and require separating. The print is black-and-white. There are also some grey highlights and frames for linguistic or historical references, as well as the keywords. The letters are marked on the side of the pages and it is easier to find the right page just looking on the side of the book. The English and Spanish parts are separated by the "Language in use" section, this division is also visible on the side of the book. This section does not have grammar or pronunciation rules, but it contains helpful writing tips, like writing a letter or scholar paper. It seems the dictionary indeed contains all the words of both languages. There are lots of meanings, expressions, and examples. There are also phonetic and grammatical features given next to each word: gender, plural forms, and conjugation types. I am extremely satisfied with the dictionary. The only suggestion would be to have it rather in several volumes, for more convenient use. Review: Worth purchasing - Excellent dictionary

Diccionario con una larga trayectoria.
Desde hace muchos años llevo utilizando este diccionario y ya me tocaba renovar y tener otro en buen estado. Nunca me ha decepcionado la calidad de sus palabras y traducciones en los dos idiomas.. El tamaño está bien y el color naranja es vivo y optimista. Cumple los requisitos exigidos.
