Collinsシリーズの中で、学習者向けに作られているのが本書である。二色刷りで読みやすいのは言うまでもない。普通の英英辞典として使えるし、三修社の「新TOEIC TEST960点攻略コンプリートマスター」「新TOEIC TEST860点攻略コンプリートマスター」などを解いた後、単語の意味を確認するには最適だろう。ほぼすべての重要語句が載っている。 本書では物足りない人で、イギリス英語の上級者を目指す人は、「Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's English Dictionary 」か、「コウビルド英英辞典」のどちらかを選べばいいだろう。アメリカ英語の上級者を目指す人は、「Collins Cobuild Advanced Dictionary of American English」を購入してもいいが、私は初心者には本書を薦める。というのは、『Advanced Dictionary of American English』は最強と呼ばれる反面、基本語が載っていないことが多いからだ。使うなら、本書と併用するのが理想的だと思う。 できれば、実際に読んでみて、自分に合った辞書を見つけることだ。
