Can anyone recommend a quality Czech-English dictionary? The more word entries the better. Thanks!

The very best Czech to English dictionary is:
This one by Josef Fronek
It has more than 100,000 words, and perhaps more importantly it is overflowing with
examples of how to use them correctly and idiomatically in sentences

The dictionary above is the largest of its type available and is very good, but I am not sure that I'd call it the very best. The killer for me is that it doesn't usually show the aspectual counterparts for verbs, even though it has inflectional tables and shows genitive endings for nouns.
However LEDA has (finally) released a dictionary which explicitly shows aspectual counterparts of all verbs - something which several Polish-English and Russian-English dictionaries have been doing for some time already.
leda.cz/jazykove-slovniky-ucebnice.php?i=483
The drawbacks of this new dictionary is that it's smaller (50,000 headwords as opposed to 100,000 headwords in that large dictionary mentioned by Splog) and goes in both directions between Czech and English. Thus only half of the dictionary is actually what you're looking for.
