Summary: excellent
Review: This book has survived being stuffed into my bookbag everyday for several school years, and I've taken it with me on a trip to Germany. I'm planning on taking it with me when I go to Germany in a few weeks. The spine hasn't broken and the plastic cover hasn't torn. It's rare that I haven't been able to find the word that I needed in this book, and the list of irregular verbs is very helpful. I own two German-English dictionaries, and, in spite of the fact that the other one is thicker and looks more likely to be useful, I absolutely prefer this one.

Summary: A large German vocabulary in a small space
Review: This book promises to be very durable. It has flexible plastic covers and a binding which seems to be sewn, instead of being glued together. It's size makes it convenient for carrying on a trip, since it will easily fit in a purse, jacket pocket or fanny pack. Despite its small size, it has over 55,000 references in 672 pages. There's even an ABC Thumb Index at the edge of each page, making it easy to find any entry.

Summary: top-notch German dictionary
Review: This is a rare example of a pocket dictionary which can both fit in your pocket and be very useful when you're out and about. It has lasted me for eight years without falling apart and is easy to use with a thumb index for both the English-German and German-English sections. The dictionary leaves out some of the more obscure words and phrases from the larger versions of the Langenscheidt German dictionaries and is therefore perfect for people on the move who need a quick translation of an unknown word. Added features include a phonetic alphabet chart, conversion tables and formulas for temperatures, weights and measures, lists of both German and English irregular verbs, a small grammar section plus translations of German propers names, states and abbreviations.
