English Book Review by Amazon.com:
The third edition of the American Heritage Dictionary is a beauty--2,134 pages and 8.5 pounds--containing a lexicon of more than 200,000 entries, plus an appendix of Indo-European roots for etymology enthusiasts. The crisp white pages and sharp black print are easy on the eyes, the drawings and pictures (nearly 4,000 in all) are a delight, and along with the lucid, erudite definitions are 4,000-plus quoted illustrations of usage from the likes of Shakespeare, Melville, and Updike. Though it's the chosen reference of editors, it's more than a mere tool of the trade--it's a luxurious linguistic experience.

Description:
Eastwood and Mackin's book is PRACTICAL: it contains most of the things necessary in everyday speech or simple writing, but not more. The structuring of the chapters is great: on the left you find SENTENCES illustrating the key point, on the right they are EXPLAINED IN A SIMPLE WAY.

I recommend that you GET THE EXERCISE BOOK too (A Basic English Grammar Exercises by J. Eastwood) and use them together: do the exercises, check your answers and if you made many mistakes, review the corresponding chapter from the grammar book. I used this method for self-study and I found it very efficient.
