Book Description
This, the ideal two-in-one reference tool for learners of Spanish has over 80,000 references and 115,000 translations. It includes the vocabulary needed for effective communication in Spanish and English, such as terms relating to the Internet and to Euroland. The grammar, which has been updated to present information in a clearer, more user-friendly manner and which contains a host of examples, is the complement to the dictionary.
From the Publisher
Collins Spanish Dictionary Plus Grammar is one of a series of practical dictionaries designed for the general user. As well as all the vocabulary required by the major examining boards, it gives full coverage of business and computing terms and a wide range of idioms and illustrative phrases to aid comprehension and self-expression in the foreign language. The emphasis is firmly on contemporary vocabulary, with clear signposting of differences in meaning guiding the user to the appropriate translation.
"Keyword" entries in both languages give in-depth treatment of the more complex words such as "get", "do", "more", "in" etc, and the dictionaries also include descriptions of cultural differences like Bank Holidays, Hallowe'en and District Councils.
The "Plus" feature of the dictionary is an extensive and easy-to-use guide to the grammar of the foreign language, with numerous examples of current usage. The verb tables show over 50 Spanish verbs written out in full, with the tenses clearly marked for ease of reference.
Collins Spanish Dictionary Plus Grammar meets all your language needs, giving full coverage of contemporary vocabulary and usage in a single handy volume. It really is two books in one!

good--but from a British-English point of view, May 27 2009

This review is from: Spanish Dict Plus Grammar (Paperback)
The problem with the Collins dictionaries is that their vocabulary is primarily British English. This is especially troublesome to the American user where the English term is colloquial or slang. E.g, what on earth does it mean to "suss"? I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a dictionary to provide the American-English counterpart in all cases.
