I'm studying Lebanese right now (in Beirut) and the best I've been  
able to
find is "A Dictionary of Syrian Arabic" by put out by Georgetown and
available on Amazon.com. It's biggest flaw is that it's only English- 
Arabic,
and it's all transliterated, but that's manageable.

If anyone else knows of any resources though, I'd be glad to hear of  
them.
Best,
Sierra

Dear Ben
The best dictionary of Levantine Arabic to my knowledge is:

J. Elihay The Olive Tree Dictionary : A Transliterated

I highly recommend "The Olive Tree Dictionary: A Transliterated  
Dictionary
Of Conversational Eastern Arabic"  by J. Elihay (2004). You'll find it  
to be
very similar to Hinds/Badawi in its generous use of colorful usage  
sample
phrases and expressions.
