Harrap's Mini Spanish Dictionary: English-Spanish/Spanish-English

I agree with the previous reviewer. This is the best single dictionary on the market (or not on the market it appears). My copy is 7+ years old and still going strong. The vinyl cover is a godsend. And the content can't be beat. You'll find an incredibly rich variety of definition within even a single word listing. By contrast, I always find the definitions in the so-called 'standard' (Chicago) dictionary to be severely lacking.Bring back the vinyl, por favor.

I'm a Spanish teacher and have looked at many, many Spanish English dictionaries for my use, but especially for my students. Harrap's Mini (with the vinyl cover) is, by far, the best one I've found. I doesn't fall apart, like the paperbacks I have bought for classroom use, and it has more words and better definitions than any other compact dictionary I've found. I give it five stars. However, it is out of print and has been replaced by a paperback, which has the problems of all paperbacks after continuous use by students. The new one falls apart. Please write to the Publisher (MacMillan USA) and ask them to reprint this dictionary.
