Helpful Beyond English

This book was required for an introductory Latin class I took a semester ago. It proved helpful then, and is still helpful now. The ODEG is a useful tool for anyone who wishes to expand his or her knowledge of the manner in which our language functions. This book is a useful addition to a reference library, and I highly recommend it.

Good overall dictionary

I use the book as a tool of making my reports more readable, and it has never let me down... I strongly recommend this one over any dictionary i've used so far.
