Merriam Webster is a good, well-known dictionary. My only complaint is that not every entry contained its synonyms, but I gave it 5 stars anyway.

Básicamente es la edición en tapa blanda del diccionario Marrieam Webster; es más manejable y es el mejor formato para estudiantes; el tamaño lo hace fácil de llevar a clase. Todo lo demás, la calidad del trabajo, el número de entradas e incluso la textura y calidad del papel, es la misma.
