Guide Review
Abridged, But Still Big
This version of the popular and comprehensive Oxford Spanish Dictionary, although abridged to less than half the size of the original, is still larger and more complete than most paperback dictionaries. Alas, the term "pocket dictionary" may be something of a misnomer unless you have big pockets.
