For those of you in grad school or soon to be headed that way, I would highly recommend A Dictionary of Critical and Cultural Theory published by Blackwell. It was first published in 1997 and I don't know if there has been a second edition, but this was an invaluable resource for me during my grad years. It is a true dictionary and not very portable, but I found its depth to be more useful than some of the other more concise editions. It doesn't have everything, not that any volume does, but I usually found what I needed to know and then some with this resource.
