A Good Choice

There are only so may things that one can say about a foreign language dictionary, but those things are, nevertheless, worth saying. The Random House German-English dictionary is a fine choice for a German-English dictionary, and perfect choice for students and others who need a dictionary they can stuff in their bag. The volume is just the right size to fit nicely, even in a small messenger bag, but it avoids the problems of "compact dictionaries." The print is easily legible, the wordlist is quite comprehensive, and the paper is thick enough to highlite or turn quickly without fear of damage.The dictionary might have been perfect if it had been bound with a thin hardcover to better prepare it for the rigors of life in a student's backpack, but that might have shown through in the price. As it stands, the price is right -- extremely reasonable for such a nicely made book. Unless you need an extremely comprehensive or idiomatic (hence expensive) reference dictionary for translation, Random House's German-English dictionary is the right choice.
