El Pequeno Larousse Ilustrado is tailored to the Latin American audience: language, cultural references, and maps have been edited for usefulness and relevance to Latin American readers. Special features include a sixteen-page color atlas of Latin America and language notes on Latin American regionalisms.
Great dictionary and encyclopedia. It's divided in two sections: 'conceptual', and 'culture'. Very useful when you need more than a concept. Got it in 2005 and it has been my best friend since then.
