Anyway, for what it's worth, the (big and heavy) dictionary I swear by is the Robert & Collins Senior. We also have the lighter, Junior version which my husband uses a lot (but still not pocket size!)    Report

By the way, 2 o f the 3 volumes on French History by Cobban have arrived and the OH has already got stuck in. Thanks again for taking the trouble.    Report

I think I have now decided to go for this one. My thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to reply.    Report

I do hope the Cobban French history paperbacks are interesting to both of you. Mr. Sweet sounds very keen. Lucky you spotted how to get the books if they are now out of print.    Report
