3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, 11 Jun 2009

By	Jonathan Hallett (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary (Paperback)

The Pocket Oxford is an adequate Latin dictionary, with a reasonable grammar section, but it has some weaknesses especially for someone just starting in Latin.

My main gripe is that its coverage of irregular verb parts isn't at all good. The Collins dictionaries (even the little Gem) are much better when it comes to having headwords for odd bits of verb.

Another gripe is that this really isn't a pocket dictionary unless you have unusually large pockets!

My last gripe is that it is printed on really thick, rough paper, which makes it larger than necessary and not at all easy to flick through.

I'd advise beginners to buy the Collins Gem if you just want a dictionary or the Collins Dictionary and Grammar if you want a grammar as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ..., 21 Feb 2007

By	Mr. William J. Arrowsmith - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary (Paperback)

This dictionary is a set text for my 3rd-level OU Latin course, but in my opinion it is not up to the normal OUP standard. Although edited by James Morwood, it seems to be the insensitive abridgement of a much larger work. Although the basic vocabulary is probably adequate, there are not enough phrases/idioms present, esp. on the English-Latin side. On the plus side, the print format is very clear, and the grammar section is quite good.

May suit some, but if you're really serious about the finer details, look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact Concise Reference, 10 Jul 2009

By	Dan F - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary (Paperback)

Font and entry style are overlooked by users of many dictionaries, but the clear printing and entry style of this dictionary make it much easier to use than even my English dictionary. The definition length is well-balanced with the conciseness I need while still giving a proper sense of the word. Although dictionaries may seem a bland topic, I strongly recommend the Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary as the best print dictionary I have used and the easiest.
