Help for a native American prisoner with a Mexican celly in US

All reports come through that the dictionary was most helpful in understanding the other person's culture and traditions. The two men keep the dictionary within reach at all times.

It's ok

This is just a very basic Spanish-English dictionary. It will help with simple things, but there are much better dictionaries available.

If you already know a bit of both...

... this dictionary of English and Spanish words is a good one to have. It's small, can be carried with you, and is great for quick look ups when you are stuck on a word. If you don't know a bit of Spanish already, though, you really won't benefit from the book all that much.

Where do you find the upside-down question mark key?

...because that is my reaction to this book.

Adequate

For basic classroom use, the "New" Merriam-Webster's is fine and the verb references back to examples shown for irregular conjugations are quite helpful. However, it fell short of my expectations with the introduction being hard to decipher. The printer fonts aren't reader friendly and the quality of the paper is less than good compounded by the ink smearing easily. I've found myself returning more than once to an extremely worn pocket edition from the University of Chicago to find words not listed and to supplement or clarify certain words, idiom phrases and various reflexive verb definitions. Ironically, my purchase was intended to replace this old sidekick which I'm now glad I didn't toss.
