Summary: A masterpiece!
Review: I am back here at the Amazon.com site to buy a third copy of this dictionary! I keep having to get more copies as my colleagues at the translation firm I work at keep taking it for days at a time. The reason for this is quite simple. If you need a term in English or Spanish in business and related areas, this is where you need to look if you want to find it fast and accurate! So complete and easy to use!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could not have completed my Masters without it.
Review: I came to Chicago from Spain to do my Masters in Business and this dictionary helped me from start to finish. I have had it for two years and have used it every day. I recommend it to anyone studying business.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent business dictionary
Review: I find this book to be an excellent guide when you need to conduct transactions in Spanish. Every term I needed was available, accurate and easy to understand. Terrific book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not for Every Context
Review: I have had this dictionary for three years now, and time after time it has what I need to find. Since I bought it, a couple other business dictionaries have been published, and I have also bought them to be sure to have all the available resources. I have had to send the other dictionaries back, as the selection of terms they offer includes all sorts of general terms which I can already find in my regular bilingual dictionary (and online at wordreference.com), and few of the real-life business terms that you encounter on a day to day basis.

This dictionary has over 40,000 terms, all useful, all precisely handled, and the format is easy to read and comprehend. If you need to have a bilingual business dictionary, then you must get this one. If you want more than one, then get this one first, then see if any other measures up to it! You will see it is Way way way above the rest!

Summary: Let me add this:
Review: I have used this dictionary for about two years now, and was browsing through the bilingual dictionaries Amazon.com sells, and came across it. I figured I'd write a nice review telling about how useful it has been to me. But, I see a long list of reviews, so I have to see if I can add something.

It is a snap to use, with its easy-on-the-eyes layout, and especially since it puts not just words, but also phrases. This is important because 90% of the time you encounter phrases, and being able to know the complete and exact translations makes all the difference.

Besides that, I like finding everything I ever try to look up, but I think that's already been said. I most emphatically and positively recommend this dictionary!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indispensable for those in International Business!
Review: I have worked with international markets for over 20 years and until I found this book I often fumbled for the right terminology in any given business situation. Now I save significant amounts of time on a daily basis by having the correct terms in both English and Spanish right at my fingertips. Every time I have had to look up a word in either language it has been there. The equivalents are totally accurate and up to the minute. I give it a perfect score in every category!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maximum usability!
Review: I make about three business trips to Central and South America each month, and while flying I review the contracts and other documents that will be pertinent to my travel. I usually have only my two carry-ons, so space is at a premium when I pack. My notebook computer carrying case has just enough room for the papers I need and this dictionary. All three are equally important to me. My computer and documents for obvious reasons, and this dictionary because I can truly and conceptually understand all the Spanish language business terms I encounter. Not only do I save time by finding what I need in a single book, but I also make better use of my meetings by being fully familiar with the terminology of whatever is being dealt with, whether it is in English or Spanish. Think of it this way, if I am already very busy and have taken the time to tell you this, it's good advice!

Summary: Not for Every Context
Review: I purchased this dictionary after reading all the 'rave reviews.' Unfortunately, it has been very inadequate for my work as a translator in the business field. I find it particularly lacking for today's stock reporting and financial lingo. Perhaps a new edition with updated terminology is in order. YET, the dictionary is also lacking because it does not provide examples with the terms or phrases in context.
I will be returning the copy I purchased and will post a suggestion for another text when I find a good replacement.
