5 out of 5 stars The only hardcover Spanish and English Dictionary   December 16, 2005
 9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I try to find a hardcover Spanish and English Dictionary for a gift, and surprisingly this is the only one available at Amazon. The font is large enough for mature readers without reading glasses and the word collection are good enough for every day usage. The price is amazingly low, Random House has a paperback one and it costs about the same, and Velazquez is a brand I can trust.

This large print dictionary makes word-finding unbelievably easy! It has large print so that words can be found quickly. And it's perfect for those who have a hard time seeing. It's not that hard to find a word because whereas with smaller, finer print dictionaries in which the words are all so compacted to fit into a 500+ page book and are much smaller, this book has them printed much larger and yet still has a lot to translate.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Vision Impaired   June 27, 2006
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

My cousin and I got this dictionary because we both translate documents at work, and although it has fewer words than the regular Velazquez, it helps a lot when you read as much as we do, to have larger font words.

I would adsolutely recomend this to anyone who has vision problems. It's a Velazquez. Ofcourse I would recomend it. This one in particular though, is as all Velazquez easy to use, and much easier to read due to the large font. Its cover is pretty sterdy too, so I think it will last me a while.

This is a good resource to use if you need the words to be a little bit bigger.


2 out of 5 stars Large print, small resource.   March 2, 2008

The book is easy to read, but there's not enough in it. It's missing so many everyday spanish words, I'm doing very basic stuff here but I have to keep going to the computer for help. Another big problem is if the word you're trying to translate from Spanish is an odd verb form, it not only doesn't list the word but won't even point you in the direction of the infinitive form as many other translation dictionaries (Oxford) do.
