the best

This book, although out of print and very difficult to find, is the best classical dictionary I've been able to find. My copy is 40+ years old and falling apart, but I'll not trade it for anything new. Designed for the more advanced student, it includes more in depth information and more entries than any other compact classical dictionary I've come across. In fact, I've been searching for years to replace it, but to no avail. My only objections are that it is out of print and that the type set is very small / difficult to read, the paper is too thin.

interesting book

THERE ARE MANY CLASSICAL DICTIONARIES.This is a useful book for young students, but too much compact and abridged for us researchers. I recommend Oxford Classical Dictionary(3rd edition) for everybody.
