Crum's is the only full lexicon for Coptic studies in English that I know of and this has been worth every penny. It has stood the test of time and is an invaluable resource for anyone studying Coptic. I am especially a fan of the Greek index in the back since I know Greek better and it can be hard to find the infinitive of a verb in a text and Crum.
Until a comprehensive Coptic lexicon (Smith's is useful but not comprehensive), Crum's is the only solution.
