Does anyone have any suggestions for a small, light Spanish/English dictionary with some verb tables? The usual "compact"dictionaries are too big (and the print too small) but the phrase books are too limited for my needs.

Oxford Spanish dictionaries are awesome, I have a bigger one but I know they have pocket ones too. And I think they are some verb conjugations in there but if not just write it on the front and back covers. Just an idea, but I really like Oxford ones the best, hope that helped.

There should be an earlier discussion of dictionaries sometime in the last year. Are you looking to buy this in the US or Spain?

For my "pocket" Spanish/English Dictionary I chose the Cambridge Klett because it was easier on the eyes. I waited until I got to Madrid and went into a big bookstore where I could look at a huge selection for side-by-side comparisons. "Pocket" is in the eyes of the beholder since any good one is the size of a good-sized paperback. The Cambridge Klett also has a stiff cover so it doesn't get tattered being carried around. Several of the other smaller ones also have this feature.
