Summary: Five star dictionary, one star shipping
Comment: I think this is a great dictionary, but if you decide to order it be aware that Amazon seems to have particular difficulty in shipping it, or perhaps their copies are damaged. I say this because the first copy I received from Amazon had split bindings. Imagine opening the front cover and razoring the seam between the cover and the binding. Repeat the process inside the back cover. Amazon was very nice about letting me replace it: they shipped a replacement copy the next day, UPS picked up the damaged one, no charge for anything.

Unfortunately, the replacement copy arrived in EXACTLY the same state. That had to go back as well. So you should get a copy, but it make take a few tries before you get one in usable condition.

Summary: Good dictionary - misleading description
Comment: Dictionary comparable in scope to the Oxford-Hachette.

I just wanted to point out that while Oxford-Hachette and Larousse list Entries and Translations separately in their blurbs, HarperCollins lumps them together to make it appear as though they have more than twice as many entries. This is intentionally misleading. For this reason alone I'm putting my money into the Oxford-Hachette.

FWIW, this dictionary appears to be the same as the "Collins Robert Unabridged French to English and English to French Dictionary" merely by a different publisher and for half the price.
