Summary: Travelling Spanish? This is perfect
Review: If you're planning a trip to latin land and your knowledge of Spanish is zippo...this might be just what you need for quick references.

Pros:

- Easy to carry. It's so small that it will fit in a matchbox.

- Given it's size, it's surprisingly easy to use and read.

- Has all the words you'll need to refer and express things.

Cons:

- Doesn't teach you sentence construction/ grammar etc. Is not intended to anyway.

- Apart from the lexicon, it has a small section for numbers in Spanish. But don't look for lists of "words when you shop" or "what to say at a restaurant". This book is not meant for that.

Bottomline:

At such a low price, you should buy it even if you're planning a more elaborate English- Spanish book. The benefits of the nifty size alone will pay off.
