Best Polish dictionary available on Amazon.com!

In my opinion, this is the best Polish dictionary available on Amazon.com. All the other dictionaries as far as I've seen have only 30,000 to 40,000 words. This dictionary has 50,000 words, plus includes lots of idiomatic phrases. In addition, many dictionaries have some flaws, such as not showing the genitives of the nouns, and not including every word found in the English-Polish section in the Polish-English section, and vice versa. This dictionary has neither of those problems. The same words are found in both sections, and the genitives and plurals for every noun are included. Even the first person singular conjugation of every verb in this dictionary is shown. Also nice is that this dictionary is very up-to-date. Computer terms, such as hard disk, hardware, software, computer virus, mouse, printer, etc. can be found in this dictionary. At the end of the dictionary, there's even a grammar section, which includes a guide to how to decline nouns and how to conjugate verbs. The only problem I can see with this dictionary is that the pronunciations of the Polish words aren't given (however, the pronunciation of every English word is given, plus there's a table of irregular English past tense forms. This leads me to believe that this dictionary was originally written for Polish speakers learning English). However, this shouldn't present a big problem. Polish spelling in highly phonetic after all, and to make up for the loss, a guide to pronouncing Polish is included. I would recommend this dictionary to anyone learning Polish.
