This latin dictionary is one of the best. It provides you not only with latin translations (incomplete in the list of latin words, but big enough to get through), but it also provides you with snippets of various aspects of Roman life.

SUM: Concise Latin/English Dictionary. Quick Reference Grammar Section included.

REV: I'm very fond of this dictionary, because I used it all through high school during my four years of Latin. It helped me with many difficult passages in translating the Aeneid.

I love that it provides a conjugation page as everything needs to be conjugated in Latin. Most other language books don't provide one. Of course a lot of current words are missing as they didn't exist in Roman times but it has almost all the words I need for translation.

'Tis very handy indeed. Of course, I only read like three words, but that counts, doesn't it??
