The Oxford Latin Dictionary? It is the best available, bar none. $100 is a steal, I was excited to find one for $200 and it got bought by someone else almost instantly.
make sure it is the OLD and not the Oxford Desk Dictionary or one of their other ones. See pic related. The ones in the middle are junk. The leftmost is the newer 2-volume edition, the rightmost is the older 1 volume edition. I prefer 1 volume. 2 volume has smaller, less clear print and is more of a bear to use in general.
There are caveats. It is huge - you will not be carrying it with you. It can be intimidating for beginners.
If you are just starting out I would recommend Cassell's. Cheap, portable, reliable, thorough. OLD is better once you are reading authentic texts. It is a tome you keep at home and refer to for deep, analytical detail.
That said $100 is a bargain, I would buy that instantly if I knew about it.
