Beyond Ozhigov--an alternative tolkovyi slovar' russkogo iazyka?

[Nicole Monnier]

In the midst of hunting down a word late last night, it finally dawned on me
that my beloved Ozhigov (7th ed., 1968!) and I are more or less coevals, and
that I should perhaps acquire a more up-to-date slovar' russkogo iazyka.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding good--and currently
available!--Russian-Russian dictionaries? Specifically, has anyone used the
Bol'shoi tolkovyi slovar' russkogo iazyka, Kuznetsov, S. A. (sost. i red.),
(SPb: Norint, 1998)--the only such dictionary currently on offer at Viktor
Kamkin ($40.00)?

Many thanks,

Nicole
