Leave it to Oxford University Press to produce the definitive portable Spanish reference. Lightweight, wide-ranging, and easily legible, it combines a Spanish-English dictionary, an English-Spanish dictionary, and a lucid grammar text in one convenient volume. The dictionary is up-to-date on its colloquialisms and technical terms, and it provides translations for over 50,000 words and phrases. There's a complete glossary of grammatical terms and a full index, as well. And, while linguaphobes may doubt such a thing is possible, the grammar portion is a delight. With easy-to-comprehend sections on pronouns, negations, affective suffixes, questions, conjunctions, all the verb forms, and translation traps, it eases the lives of students, business folk, and travelers dusting off their high school español. --Stephanie Gold
