This is definitive. You need no other Arabic-English dictionaries than this for everything but the most archaic or obscure words.
I was rather disgusted to find that this dictionary reads from left to right when Arabic is written and read from right to left. If you're serious about making this a good dictionary for a Semitic language that is a right-to-left one, why arrange it that way?

more than what i expected
Incredibly easy to use, if you are familiar with your verb tables. It contains just about any FusHa root you could possibly need, assuming you're not looking for something so obscure that you need to use the full Hans Wehr. I just wish it had English-Arabic as well . . .
Invaluable, a closest companion for a student of Arabic in Damascus. Would be nice to take it everywhere I went, but its a little bulky in the souks...a small pocket edition would be really handy. Arranged by FusHa root words, its very well organized and easy to use.
A truly amazing piece of scholarship and an invaluable tool for students of the Arabic language. It is a work of beauty and majesty. Yes, I realize that I am talking about a dictionary but it's the damn truth.

Quite possibly the best book ever. As far as Arabic-English dictionaries are concerned.
Hans Wehr was my lifeline for years. An absolutely indispensable reference book.
It's a love hate relationship.
Always reading
