best russian-english dictionary

[soidisantfille.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering which Russian-English (and vice-versa) dictionary is best to buy. I have the small paperback Oxford Russian dictionary and it has served me well to date, but I'm looking to buy a somewhat more upscale, comprehensive hardcover Russian-English dictionary. I've moved beyond basic Russian, so I'm not necessarily looking for one that covers grammatical concepts, but simply has a large quantity of words, examples, and verb conjugation endings.

Any suggestions?

I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing one (as well as a Russian-Russian dictionary) when I was there last summer. Books are so much cheaper in Russia than in Canada!
