The eminence of Cassell dictionaries has been established over more than a century of dictionary publishing. Cassell's accumulated experience in such a highly specialized field has been accompanied by unceasing vigilance to maintain the high standard for which it is world-famous. Cassell's Concise Spanish Dictionary has been specially compiled to provide in compact form the words most frequently used in normal speech and literature, incorporating literary and poetic terms recurrent in classical, literary Spanish. It embodies common idiomatic expressions and includes Latin-American terms. Verb tables are provided in both languages.
So it seems for a few years, like around five toseven, my library needed a Spanish-English dictionary; for your information, I had one during my secondary and post-secondary school days. Whatever... So I saw this little pocket sized hbk and knew I had to have it. Browsing through it it seems pretty good. Has reference sections regarding verbs and noun classifictions. So, it's not just a word lookup book.
