Summary: a rip-off from Cambridge University Press
Review: there is nothing actually wrong with the content of this abridged version of really great dictionary – there is enough words here to make you understand everything. still, i remember the previous editions of this book as much better organized and with much better print. this dictionary is poorly organized, which makes the Introduction hard to understand, and its print is rather bad, which makes the Introduction Content and Dictionary itself hard to read/reference. (...)

up to date, better organized, with better print and much cheaper editions of this dictionary can be found through “native” bookstores.

don’t be cheated - buy native.

Summary: Still the best available
Review: This is still the best available English-Serbo-Croatian dictionary available. I highly recommend this dictionary to all students of the language. Pay the extra money now and don't waste it on the inferior, cheaper dictionaries available. This, along with the companion SerboCroatian-English dictionary are a must for linguists, translators and students of Serbo-Croatian. This is an especially useful tool for those of you heading to Bosnia or Kosovo.

Summary: This is the best dictionary out there, and not a ripoff
Review: This is the original, as opposed to the abridged. The story behind the publication is thus: the SerboCroatian-English Dictionary was written by Biljana Sljivic-Simsic as a graduate assistant, and Morton Benson put his name on it. When this book was published, he simply flipped it around and didn't give her credit. Then he published an abridged two-way dictionary, also with only his name on it. The only person doing the ripping off was Morton Benson, not any particular publisher.
