Outdated but at least somewhat useful
This dictionary is fairly out of date and is missing several common words which should be there. However, I have been using it for over 3 years and have been able to find most of the entries I was looking for. It also contains lists of Hindi sayings and vocabulary grouped by category (such as colours, parts of the body, animals, etc.) which I found helpful. You probably won't find a better dictionary with both Hindi-English and English-Hindi listings.

Not this one, turn around and run
I own no less than four Hindi-English dictionaries. Why so many? Because I bought this one first. It is hard to read, has many useless words and is missing some fairly common words. If you really need one, get The Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary. It isn't both ways, but if you need both, then also find An English-Hindi Dictionary by Father Camille Bulcke.

Not for beginners
I expected transliteration (roman script) along with Hindi script. This dictionary has only Hindi script and is useless unless you know Hindi script. I returned it. . .
