Peace People,
The link below contains several quranic dictionaries. I've never shopped at this dealer, but intend to do so if I don't find these at amazon.com .

I got both of these from Amazon
The Dictionary Of The Holy Qur'an -(Abdul Mannan Omar )
This is a quality book and has alot of pages (it uses that thin india paper Bibles are made of). One complaint is that it does seem to put in Sunni interpretation in words such as KaBah, Safah Marwah etc. But also listed are the Classical Arabic meanings so its just up to the reader which meaning they wish to use. Its handy because it has a big list of the various forms of the root words as written in the Quran which was useful for me because I cannot tell the roots of a word by just reading the Arabic in the Quran. It also has an index of just the root words for those good in Arabic.http//www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Holy-Quran-Abdul-Mannan/dp/0963206796/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b/104-5378724-0224700
A Dictionary & Glossary Of The Koran -(John Penrice)
Its pretty good but has less meanings than the first one and has none of those useful indexes I mentioned. The quality of this book isn't as good either.http//www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Glossary-Koran-John-Penrice/dp/0486434397/ref=pd_sim_b_1_img/104-5378724-0224700

A Concordance of the Qur'an Hanna E Kassis
Very good book. Its main benefit is the detailed concordance but this can be found online, e.g. openburhan, PRL etc.A Dictionary & Glossary Of The Koran John Penrice
Ok, but not detailed.The Dictionary Of The Holy Qur'an Abdul Mannan Omar
Excellent, and possibly a must have book.
