• Best Value 18 November, 2007
I found the Collins Latin Dictionary in my local bookstore featuring both Latin to English and English to Latin. The dictionary is a medium sized book that is easy to handle--which is to say, for a dictionary, it is relatively small. The dictionary is a good value for the price. Given its scope and relatively small size, the only caveat is that it lacks references to some specialized theological terms. Overall I'd buy this dictionary again.

• Wow, What A Reference Guide, Much More Than A "dictionary" 22 July, 2008
I am starting my second year of formal Latin study this fall, and with the Latin textbooks I use, the vocabulary words basically make up the dictionary section in the back of the books. I came across this "dictionary" in a Barnes and Noble, a knew from skimming through this among many others that this is the ONE! As I review my notes from my first year's study over the summer, this book also has grammar references, such as verb tenses and moods, dipthongs and pronuncition of vowels and consonants, popular and lesser known Latin sayings. The book also covers woer order, adjectives, and adverbs. Oh my, the dictionary even has a Roman history timeline, a perfect refernce as a Latin major to reference and review what I learned in Roman Civilization last spring. It has a great, broad selection of words from Latin to English and then a section translating from English to Latin. This book is livin' proof that Latin is not a dead language; to me it is alive and one hella beautiful language and helps me understand my native English, and helps me with Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, languages I have some knowledge in. This dictionary also has Latin names for places formerly part of the Roman Empire, a reference for Latin Writers, and a family tree covering from trivatus, trivatia (great great great great grandfather and mother respectively); all the way to pronepos, preoneptis (great grandson, great granddaughter). Not only can you look up words you don't know, you can review grammar, history and much, much more!!! This one is a certified keeper. Librem carpe statim antequam deficiat! Get this book immediately before it runs out! Gosh, I love this language, and this reference guide.

• Precious For Those Special Moments 19 September, 2007
Great book if you want to impress people with one liners that can be thrown in here and there.
Great for notice board grafitti on an intellectual level .
They say "chicks dig the car" well they also dig the langauage.
The book is well set out and examples and explanations clear and plentiful. A useful reference for any library.

• Latin Dictionary 16 February, 2007
This is a very good product for Latin Class at school. It helps to translate words. It is very useful when having to write a story totally in Latin for the words not used very often. Very worthwhile purchase.

• The Proof Of The Pudding... 27 December, 2007
is in the eating; that of a dictionary in its use. Since my copy of this one arrived only about a week ago, I haven't yet had time to put it fully to the test, but so far...very good. The full declension and conjugation tables and explanations at the end (not to mention the "Quick Reference Grammar" at the beginning) are precisely why I chose this dictionary over the alternatives.
My only complaints, and minor ones at that, are the cover color (what were they thinking?) and the print direction of the grammar section at the end (across the page lengthwise, making it a little difficult to use).
January 20, 2008 addendum:
Nearly a month of usage has only confirmed the rightness of my choice. If you're looking for a good, compact Latin-English/English-Latin dictionary with full grammar tables and other supplementary sections, LOOK NO FURTHER!
