Rating:
Summary: Outstanding
Review: This is the best single book Latin reference I have ever seen. The book contains:

Clear, extensive dictionary.

Clear grammar explanations and lots of good examples (which most books frankly lack), of tricky things like "cases".

A section on Latin phrases in use today.

Information on things like the Roman calendar, measures, money and so on.

The only drawback is the smallish format which makes them crunch up some of the information a bit. But its not too bad.

If you are learning Latin this is a good book to take along.
