The following books are the best of their kind: The Collins Spanish Unabridged Dictionary is all the Spanish-English/English-Spanish Dictionary you will ever need, but at over 6 pounds, it is quite heavy. English Grammar for Students of Spanish and 501 Spanish Verbs are recommended for beginners. Breaking Out of Beginner’s Spanish is for intermediate students. The Ultimate Spanish Phrase Finder is great for intermediate or advanced students, and even teachers and translators. A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish and the Diccionario Clave will be most helpful to advanced students and teachers (and virtually incomprehensible to meaningless for beginners).
Reviews for all of these helpful books (except the 501 Spanish Verbs book) can be found at http://www.spanishpronto.com/spanishpronto/spanishtools.html#bibliography.
