Summary: The COMPACT Langenscheidt
Review: This dictionary simply has the most number of entries in the least amount of space that you can find. That means a portable, easy-to-handle dictionary that you can really use easily. The paper is thin, the fonts are a bit small (so if that is a problem for you, you might want to avoid this particular model) but this fat little 1.58" x 6.04" x 3.88" dictionary has 1,391 pages and will handle most intermediate and even advanced needs. They are claiming 120,000 entries--that's as many entries as one of their size bigger dictionaries I looked at and almost bought. It works for me!!! I have had it and used it a few days while reading the novel (or collection of Aram stories) "My Name is Aram" by William Saroyan simultaneously in English and German, and so far I haven't NOT found anything. If there IS a word you can't find THEN you can lug out the huge complete Oxford-Duden hard copy(or whatever) or log onto one of the several free internet German/English dictionary sites and find what you need there. This is the dictionary for me!!
