Hi, Russell,

There's also Alexander Souter, A Pocket Lexicon of the Greek New Testament, 
available for free at Google books.

Amazon has a used copy for $3.00.

Here we go again with the nitpicking over what is meant by a "quality lexicon." 
Some will trot out
the usual suspects, notably Thayer's, available in a cheap print edition and as 
a PDF from several sources.
The little Liddell and the middle Liddell are both about the same Victorian 
vintage as Thayer's, but 

the great Scott is accessible online at the Harvard Archimedes site
(http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/pollux/)
at TLG (http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/lsj/#eid=1&context=lsj).
I personally think that the little Langenscheidt's pocket lexicon is perfectly 
adequate for reading
GNT or standard school texts.
