It depends on what you want the dictionary for.
Longmans Advanced Learner's Dictionary is very good for those at college or for those learning English.
The Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus is also to be recommended.
There are also picture dictionaries which are excellent for nouns, names of specific parts.
If you just want a general dictionary with the phonetics, definition, type of word and similies, I would choose The Oxford Dictionary. It's the one I use.

I can highly recommend: Universal Dictionary Readers Digest
It has all the English words around the globe in it, tells where the word origin from etc. It has words in you won't find in just any dictionary! It is fully comprehensive.
But why buy a dictionary if you have the Internet?

I can definitely recommend a dictionary. It's useful for all sorts of things like how to spell something and even to find out what a particular word means.
All the words are listed in alphabetical order (Thats starting at A and ending in Z) and are sectioned off into the first letter of the word so they are easy to find.
Why not pop down you your local bookshop (or WHSmith) and get yourself one. ;op

Oxford or Chamber's 21st are both excellent. Or go to www.dictionary.com for an equally good online version.
