I was very much annoyed at the lack of preview on Amazon (or anywhere else on the Internet, for that matter) for this particular book.
Hence I've attached the back cover and a sample page for others who may also want to take a peek at the book before their purchase.

Despite the difference in name, this book appears to be the US version of Collins Robert French Dictionary Concise Edition, a collaboration between Collins Dictionary and Le Robert (a French publisher) that is published in the UK. You can see a preview for the UK version here on Amazon UK: 
Collins Robert French Dictionary Concise edition: 240,000 Translations (French and English Edition) .

Because this book is a collaboration between Collins and Le Robert, this book is different from Collins French Dictionary Concise Edition, which is published by Harper Collins alone and has nothing to do with Le Robert. Compared to the latter, I much prefer the layout of word entries in the Collins-Robert version, as well as its visual design overall.

I bought the Collins Robert French College Dictionary, 8th Edition as I am attempting to learn French. I was pleasantly surprised to find it is such a robust and comprehensive dictionary. It actually includes sayings that I couldn’t find in any other French dictionary. It is definitely worth the price as there is so much information given and explained extremely clearly. I highly recommend the Collins Robert French College Dictionary.
