Summary: Pretty bad...
Review: If you're looking for concise explanations and helpful examples, please DON'T pick this dictionary!!! Extremely unorganized and un-helpful, there's even a "supplemental list" in the back of the book as if the authors suddenly wanted to throw in more words and didn't know where to put them in or something...

Summary: Woefully out of date and incomplete
Review: This is an old-style dictionary, organized according to roots rather than alphabetically. That's fine though. What's not fine is that it is missing soooooo many common current words. This dictionary is ancient. It's word list is WWI vintage. ...

Summary: Out of date and poorly organized
Review: This is one of the worst English-Arabic dictionaries I've worked with. It's terribly out of date and lacking many common words. Moreover, it's organized by root, not alphabetically, which isn't terrible if you're familiar with Arabic word patterns, but since it does not bold the root verb entries or otherwise call out where each root section starts, it is incredibly difficult to look up words, even if you know what you are looking for.
