2/5 stars

Misleading (1/1 people found this helpful)

This time Collins Dictionaries have let me down. I do not need the English-German part, which comes first, making work with the dictionary more difficult. In a tome this big one could have had separate headwords for all entries instead of the annoyingly confusing clusters. The text on the dust jacket is totally misleading.

Collins German Dictionary (7/7 people found this helpful)

This latest Collins German Dictionary simply continues my excellent experience of the large Collins Dictionaries. I own these Dictionaries in French, Spanish, German and Italian and I regularly update them as new editions come out.
My minor niggle this time is that the English is placed first not the German when I am accustomed to the other way round. I have tested the dictionary for new words not present in the previous edition and found it not wanting. So keep up the good work Collins.
For a newbie, I ought to explain that the merit of these dictionaries is the exhaustive presentation of words in context with very many examples of usage and in a consistent manner.Collins German Dictionary: Complete & Unabridged in Colour

German dictionary (5/10 people found this helpful)

A decent dictionary, but it would have been helpful if the write-up said that it is a German-English AND English-German dictionary!!

5/5 stars

Excellent translation (16/16 people found this helpful)

An excellent book. When translating a word, you are traditionally offered a list of potential translations without any context, whereas this book gives you examples and context for each option. Invaluable reference if you want to select the correct word/phrase to translate as opposed to making inspired guesses. Well worth the investment.
