Not for Scholarly researchers

This handy edition of Cassell's German Dictionary is just that: a handy edition. And although it contains many idiomatic phrases and other helpful tools, it is not designed for those who wish to do scholarly research in German literature. The text does not contain enough technical terms or theological idioms to facilitate this type of research. For those who intend to use it for more casual study, this text would be highly recommended.

5 stars isn't good enough!

Aside from Wahrig's German-German dictionary, you will be *extremely* hard-pressed to find a better German dictionary.Easy to follow... good examples... idomatic expressions... proper translations that show correct modern usage/interpretations... includes some words in dialect...I've been a constant student of the language for over 10 years now and this is by far *the* best dictionary to have. No collection of German reference books is complete without this dictionary. My father (Ph.D., German Literature, Univ. Tennessee '77) has used his for over 30 years (with the exception of the 5 years I had stolen it from him while I was in college).Hands down, the best.
