ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary by John Defrancis

This dictionary is an expansion of the ""ABC Chinese-English Dictionary"", the first strictly alphabetically ordered and Pinyin computerized dictionary. It contains over 196,000 entries, compared to the 71,486 entries of the earlier work, making it a comprehensive one-volume dictionary of Chinese. The single-sort alphabetic order of the entries provides by far the simplest and fastest way to look up a term whose pronunciation is known.
Excellent... An outstanding contribution to the field, in many ways better than other comparable dictionaries. -China Review International
John DeFrancis is emeritus professor of Chinese at the University of Hawai'i.
