I am partial to American Heritage products generally. The content in this American Heritage Pocket Spanish Dictionary may be very good, but I have two main beefs about it that for me are dealbreakers.

First, the font is too small. I know; it’s a pocket dictionary. But I have pocket dictionaries that are even smaller where the font is still reasonable. 

“Too small” is subjective, so if you are a college student, maybe it won’t bother you.

Second, the text runs too far into the interior margins. I hate having to wrestle a book to see what it says in its inner recesses.
