One can still get reprints of Woodhouse's English-Greek Dictionary: a Vocabulary of the Attic Language from Routledge. My copy is a 1998 reprint, acquired in 2000. It took a while to track down and it ain't cheap.
Edit: the little 2002Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary has a small English to Greek section but that whole production is a too depressing to me to recommend.

There's an electronic copy of Woodhouse out there, too:
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/efts/Woodhouse/
You can search by word, and the pages it pops up are nice scans from the text.

The lists:
G'Oogle and the Internet Pharrchive - 1100 or so free Latin and Greek books.

Second hand at abebooks.com, it costs quite a lot:vir litterarum wrote:I know about the electronic copy of Woodhouse; I was just wondering whether perhaps there was a cheaper alternative available.

φεῦ! In 2000 I managed to get mine for something in the US$70 range. I see that some lunatics are now selling copies for more than US$400!perispomenon wrote:Price: US$ 134.73

And I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last of its kind. I cannot imagine 1000-page books used by a minority of even classics students is going to make a publisher any money these days. I suppose reliable and affordable print-on-demand might keep this on paper.vir litterarum wrote:I am appalled that this seems to be quite literally the only reference of its kind in English.
