The "little Liddell" is the best version for the beginner since it contains, e.g., irregular forms of verbs whose aorist and/or perfect principal parts cannot be predicted from the present principal part. The "middle Liddell" contains fewer entries but provides more room for "etymological information", thus making the "little Liddell" best for use during Greek exams and the "middle Liddell" best for those whose interest includes a knowledge of the history of a word's usage.
The "big Liddell" (the book for which this review is written) is an excellent reference on account of its completeness and the coherent way in which the entries are written. Although the Liddell and Scott Lexicon is a work of scholarship located in the tradition of late 19th century classics scholarship, that is, the editors regularly give the Latin translation of the Greek before the English (since until recently it was assumed that a study of Latin would accompany a study of Greek), the work has enduring value to both scholars and those for whom an interest in Greek is merely an enjoyment. The "big Liddell" will not disappoint if you're willing to make the financial investment.
