Summary: What the experts say about this book
Review: Here are two quotes by world-renowned translators about The Translator's Handbook by Morry Sofer:
"The Handbook is just about the most throughgoing manual I have seen in many a moon," says Gregory Rabassa, the translator of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels.
"Very well conceived. . . excellent, uselful and beautiful," says Marina Orellana, author of the popular book International Glossary for Translators.

Summary: A waste of trees and money
Review: This handbook did not teach me anything i already didn't know. Morry Sofer frankly is an unreliable source when it comes to translating. For a book made up predominantly of appendices, there is no real valuable or vital information the reader can attain for his 25 dollars. In all honesty...Not worth a single penny.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: You can tell from reading this book that Morry Sofer really knows what he's talking about. This book is an excellent tool for any aspiring translator, begginer or professional. I have read it and used most of its resources, both printed and online. This book is a MUST for all translators, regardless of the language combination you work in.
