El canal 22 de Mexico (canal cultural) recomendo este diccionario ilustrado. Lo compre como regalo para mi hijo. Es uno de los mejores diccionarios de la lengua espanola. Lo recomiendo.
An excellent standard work May 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This dictionary is to Spanish what American Heritage and Websters are to English: standard home and office reference works. Larousse has been around for a very long time. They update their color and black-and-white dictionaries annually. If you are a native speaker or an advanced student of Spanish, you need one of these near you.
It is wonderful that this excellent dictionary is now easily available in the United States at a very moderate price. Back when I was an undergraduate (late 70's to early 80's), the only way you could get something like this was to go to a Spanish-speaking country. There may have been U.S. sources in some faraway place like New York City, but I never heard of them at the time. But now you can find these books in your local bookstore or online!

I knew about the product beforehand, albeit the 1970's editions. However, this 2008 edition is fantastic; from the quality of the ilustrations to the extensive inclusion of new terms and definitions. In addition, this is the one dictionary that has it all, including important biographies and world geography all of it incredibly up-to -date. I only wish they would make an English version.

El diccionario esta fantastico. Tiene una seccion especial sobre America Latina muy interesante, ademas de las ya conocidas ilustraciones a colores que lo hacen unico en su clase. Se los recomiendo a todos.
