Concise Dictionaries:
English-Spanish Spanish-English

Concise dictionaries are a compromise between ease of use and extensive coverage of the Spanish language. They are not as heavy and unwieldy as unabridged dictionaries, but list fewer words and translations.

Concise dictionaries are a good choice for intermediate and advanced students. They provide reasonably comprehensive coverage of the language without taking things to extremes.
