Title: too conservative, not indicative of current usage even 50 yrs ago
Product review: Do yourself a favor: instead of this book buy Manuel Seco's 'Diccionario abreviado del espanol actual'. His definitions are modern and very precise. This dictionary along with the Le Petit Robert are the 2 best modern examples of modner lexography i'm aquanted with. Another choice for those with less knowedge of spanish is a ditcionary named 'Lema', which is published by vox. Although the target audiance is stated as "native adults" this dictionary has the most elucidating definitions of any spanish dictionary i've ever seen. Only caveat is that "Lema" is only available through one online retailer here in US to my knoweledge and may have to be ordered directley from a spanish library. Believe me, I'm not rich and can't afford to buy a 40$ book and then decide I don't like it so I did ample research before purchase, and have used all 3 mentioned @ my school's library.
