Sorry if this question was asked before.... sweatdrop
Anyway, I definitely need to get a dictionary. Mainly because I do not know a lot of words and with one I'll learn etc. etc.
I want to buy a book because I hate online dictionaries and find using a book easier.
I am looking for one with Romaji & Kanji since I am still really bad a hira & Kata & Kanji and will be able to understand it better.
So any recommendations?
Arigatou (^_^)

I recommend the Collin's English-Japanese Dictionary.
I use it and it isn't in the dictionary form of the verbs so it's easier to use

I would recommend the one by Random House. I am not sure who put it together or the exact title, but it is the one I use and it is really good. If you look up Random House Japanese Dictionary it would probably come up. It has English to Japanese and Japanese to English.

I love my random house Japanese and English dictionary but everyone else seems to use that one dictionary with the drawing of a woman on it or something... I've never tried it out and I can't remember what company makes it.
Also, wakan is an awesome free dictionary that you can download onto your computer... look it up.
And if you have a nintendo ds you can get a JP dictionary for it too...

The best dictionary I have found is http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C I know you were wanting a non-online dictionary but this one has just about every single word with kana and the kanji equivalent. Except for some very rough slang I have been able to find any word on there, and even then it normally has it. Although there is no romaji. The best part is that it's free, and only down side is that you have to be at a computer. So just use it for any word that your paper dictionary doesn't have if you don't want to use an online dictionary much ^_^
Also there is electronic dictionaries that have about the same sized database as WWWJDIC (the one listed above) but those cost anywhere from 50-400 dolors. The ones that cost less obviously have less features and a smaller database but still bigger then almost any paper dictionary.
I hope I was some help biggrin

The best for a learner is probably the koudansha communicative dictionary. It's about $40.

I actually use the Oxford Beginners dictionary because it challenges you to learn Katakana, and Hiragana. It has a sufficient amount of vocabulary and also provides alot of useful information on the culture, holidays, and other such things. It also has a verb conjugation tables, and quizzes. It cost me about $12USD. I still use it. Though there is a draw back, it doesn't provide romanized translations, just hiragana and katakana. There is a table for both in the back of the book. Also it doesn't have all the translations you may need, but it does help alot. Just something to consider.
