Maybe _in_ their store, but their catalog and
website offer hundreds and hundreds of
dictionaries, including many Medieval English,
French, German and Spanish dictionaries.

I have not ordered from them for my own personal
use, but several libraries that I have worked for
have been regular customers of them and I have
ordered for them many different dictionaries in
sometimes rather obscure languages.  They have
always filled the orders in a reasonable time
period which suggests to me that they have a
warehouse filled with these dictionaries.  I
suspect that they do better business from
catalog sales and website orders than they do
from their actual store, which may be why their
store is limited but their catalog isn't.  I
wouldn't have recommended them if I hadn't had
experience with them.
