[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have an old (1991) edition of this dictionary, from before the spelling reform.

Reading the introductory guide (especially the sections about indications and collocations) is important for understanding the structure of the entries.

The German-English dictionary that I've had since forever (well, since 1987, anyway). It's still useful, although I'm more likely to look for stuff at this site. and similar sites.
