The dictionary was bought as a gift to my mother, who recently started taking Spanish lessons. I myself own 2 other Cassell dictionaries (Latin & German), and am extremely pleased with them, and so I chose it for her despite her misgivings (she preferred the Oxford, having never used a Cassell before). Well, now that she's had a chance to use it, she's a convert (: It's extremely easy to use, full of modern idioms and expressions, and jam-packed with useful grammatical information and tips. This is a dictionary for people who want to get the work done. It may not have illustrations or fancy design, but none match it in efficiency and facility of use. It's also considerably cheaper than both Oxford and Larousse, and, in my opinion, far superior to them. I heartily recommend this and any other Cassell dictionary to all students and lovers of language.Read full review
Usually Larousse dictionaries are my favorite, but they're only good for Peninsular Spanish. Cassell's, however, is better for Latin-American and Mexican Spanish. It's the dictionary I use with my students where I teach and I highly recommend it.
