Despite the small size, the print is clear, with the blue colouring for headwords proving very practical. There are 36,000 references on 608 pages. Unless you don't want a physically small dictionary, I think this is a smarter purchase than the equivalent Collins dictionary . I love it. Langenscheidt is a very well known German publishing house specialising in dictionaries. Their English-German dictionaries are available in both "English" and "German" versions, by which I mean the language used for the introduction and so forth. If you want a more extensive dictionary, than I'd recommend the German edition of the larger Standard German dictionary , 11.1 x 15.6mm, and quite thick at 5.3cm (1632 pages!). This comes in at 130,000 words. Being from 2016, this comes with an access code for the Langenscheidt Wörterbuch (dictionary) app. This is not the case with the equivalent Collins dictionaries which have 112,000 words and some grammar - neither the [[ASIN: 0007453027 7th edition (2014)]] nor the very similar 8th edition (2018) . Standing in the middle is the Praktisches Wörterbuch / Pocket Dictionary, 10.4 x 15.2 cm, but rather thinner (3.6cm, 832 pages), with about 60,000 words. Again, the most recent German version (2016) comes with an app, whilst the English one (from 2011) does not. Langenscheidt also do a series of baby dictionaries called "Lilliput", just 5.2 x 5.9 cm - note that these are one way dictionaries. You can find the German version, with just 8,500 words, here . Finally, this dictionary has a flexible vinyl cover. The 2011 edition ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98168-5 9783468981685 ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98168-5]] is listed as paperback - this is an error. But just click flexibound and it takes you to the [[ASIN: 3468982003 newest, 2018 edition]] (ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98200-2). Review: Brilliant little dictionary. - I never thought a dictionary could be cute until I bought this one. It's much smaller than I expected, but they've managed to fit a lot of words into it (more than some of the bigger "pocket" dictionaries you can buy) while maintaining easy navigation of it. The vinyl cover feels much nicer than one would expect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,293,378 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,093 in Foreign Language Dictionaries & Thesauri 30,453 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 247 Reviews | ## Images ![Langenscheidt Universal German Dictionary: German - English / English - German - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bKn2+PNCS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little dictionary *by M***L on 7 December 2016* **UPDATED OCTOBER 2017** This is a great little dictionary, and when I say little, it's really tiny - very handy for reading in bed, for example.
