Questions:
- It was published in 1977 but the version available in Baruch Library is the 1982 edition – 3rd edition. There were 18 editions from 1977 to 1982. I believe the different versions have adapted to the time and culture of the time each publication was made, specially considering it was published for business people.
- The dictionary was published in Madrid by Ediciones Pirámide.
- The author was Juan Ignacio Garmendia y Miangolarra. He was Doctor en Economía/ Economist.
- Although there were 18 editions, I believe this dictionary had medium authority as it was written by an economist and not published again after 1982. Maybe it was important during the time it was published. Interesting the dictionary was published not with an encyclopedia intention but as a guide for people who are traveling on business to countries that speaks Spanish to learn expressions and important keywords.
- It’s not available online but there are many websites that you can still buy it and get it delivered at your house.
