The 21st Century French-English English-French Dictionary (21st Century Reference)

No student of French can afford to be without a good bilingual dictionary. What separates the 21st Century French-English/English-French Dictionary from the pack are its mercifully concise and to-the-point definitions, offering the important details of meaning and usage without resorting to the usual long-winded diction of many of its competitors. Although it defines more than 30,000 vocabulary terms and offers complete pronunciation and dual-punctuation guides, the 21st Century Dictionary weighs in at a mere 460 pages. Its compact size means this is one dictionary that's meant to be used on the fly rather than left gathering dust on the top of your desk. What's more, its translations and usage tips are some of the most up-to-date available.
