The Blue Dictionary

In this small bookstore, there are various dictionaries.
I want a new dictionary, but I do not have much money.
The red dictionary is bigger than the blue dictionary.
But because it is very expensive, I cannot buy the red dictionary.
Because the blue dictionary is about 1500 yen, I can buy it with my money.
I said to the shop staff, “Please give me this blue dictionary.”
