Could someone recomend a good English/French dictionary?

I wanted a really good English/French dictionary for a reasonable price. I want to expand my French vocabulary.

My dictionary is the Collins French School Dictionary & Grammar in colour.

It's a really great and intuitive dictionary, and the grammar section is unbelievable. It goes through all major structures of the language such a pronouns and tenses, and also gives all the rules for conjugating different verbs. It even has tables for conjugations of all the irregular verbs!

No problem. I love that dictionary, it makes me the envy of my corner of my French class

...or at least it did, before summer...

Could you point me to a place where I can buy it? I can't find it on Amazon.com or Barnes and Nobles.com.

I've got a "Larousse Advanced" here, which is pretty dang awesome. The Larousse's and the "Richard" line are both very solid.

Amazon Link to the Larousse.

Among the features I like in this one are the color illustration plates with technical vocab for various occupations and hobbies (architectural, geological, car engines, botany, etc...), and the extensive section in the middle filled with sample letters, resumés, form greetings, and internet slang. It's also pretty good about including idiomatic phrases in its definitions.

If you want a PC one... the Rosetta Stone programs are really good

I already have Rosetta Stone. I just want something I can carry around.
