Over 1700 pages which answer the endlessly-asked question, "How do you say --insert word here-- in Welsh?" Although it's big, heavy, and definitely not cheap, no English-speaking Welsh learner should be without this. The very latest in technological terms may be missing (I'd rather have a separate dictionary for those anyway), but other than that, it's an invaluable reference. (

Fel yr Académie française cychwynnodd yr Academi Gymraeg yn nhrafodaethau ychydig o lenorion a gyfarfu'n ffurfiol am y tro cyntaf yn Aberystwyth ar 3 Ebrill 1959. = Like its more famous prototype, l'Académie française, yr Academi Gymreig, the Welsh Academy, had its origins in the discussions of a group of literati who met formally for the first time in Aberystwyth on 3 April 1959.
(Rhagair = Preface, J. E. Caerwyn Williams, Llywydd = President, yr Academi Cymreig)
