Format:Paperback
The dictionary is fine but the CD ROM, at the time of writing, cannot be loaded onto a PC that has Windows Vista, therefore it is for many obsolete. The OUP website indicates that the problem can be fixed by emailing customer services but that the solution is unsupported and so it is not suitable for everyone.

I have been using this dictionary for over year and consider it indispensable. The softback edition is not too heavy and has survived an immense amount of use without any sign of wear. You may need a special pair of glasses though, as the chinese font sizes are quite small.

Whilst the printed dictionary is moderately useful and acceptable as a normal reference dictionary, the Talking Chinese Dictionary is comparatively useless [For example, typing in to the disc search engine some of the English words that appear in the printed dictionary returns zero results for a Chinese equivalent from the disc]. I would not recommend buying these before you invest in a learning program like Wenlin, which is far more useful and also provides audio for hearing how the words sound in Mandarin.
