Review: Much easier to use that Lewis & Short, this dictionary applies modern lexicographical standards to classical Latin. It doesn't include Christian or biblical Latin, so it needs to be used in conjunction with other dictionaries. The two-volume format makes it easy to handle, and the appearance of the page is good. The historical introduction is very witty and a good read.

Review: I'm not going to review the contents of this dictionary but the quality of its production. The 1 star is for that. For a book this price you would expect higher quality binding and in particular better quality paper. Within a few days of normal use a few tears have materialised due to the extraordinarily thin and fragile paper. It's twice as thin as that of the Oxford Dictionary of English. Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue should be attached to this dictionary as a 'Frequently Bought Together' item! Update Since writing the above yesterday, I've come across a page so thin it's got a hole in it! Steve Update 2 I got on to OUP and they replaced the dictionary with one put out by another printer. That version is fine.
