I'm looking for a turkish-english, eng.-tur. dictionary. Which one is the best in your opinion?

I have heard about Oxford and Redhouse but I want to hear your personal opinions.
My friend is in Istanbul now and I'm going to ask him to buy one for me.

Sorry - can't help you with a paper dictionary

But I have been trialling the free version of the Linvosoft Turkish/English dictionary for a while on my PDA - and it is pretty good Good enough that I will upgrade to a full copy soon (probably the basic version).

They also do a talking dictionary although I have not tried this.

I can't help you with paper dictionaries - the only one I have is Polish-Turkish and ..hmm..let's say it's a bit out-of-date as "mesaj" is translated there as "proclamation/manifesto"

However, I really recommend the CD version of Redhouse (I use 1.52 version but there may be newer ones) with sound files in both English and Turkish. Also, it has sentences showing words in context. Here's a sample entry for the verb "take":

fiil (took, taken)

1. almak; götürmek:

Be sure to take a sweater!
Yanına kazak almayı ihmal etme!

Will you take the dog to the vet?

8. katlanmak, tahammül etmek; dayanmak:

9. karşılamak:

11. almak, içine sığmak:

O kadar büyük bir gemi kanala sığmaz.

12. (iş, yolculuk) (belirli bir zaman) sürmek:
