Summary: Bought another after returning to States
Review: I was lucky enough to find this dictionary at a small news stand in Porto Seguro, Brazil. It changed the nature of my visit. Small but thorough is the way I would sum it up. I left my copy with my guests and bought another as soon as I returned home. Highly recommended for the traveler.

Summary: It is a gem.
Review: This is one bright spot in the morass of terrible bilingual Portuguese dictionaries. Although it is tiny, it contains many words one would not expect to find in a pocket dictionary. Unless you have an old Taylor's Portuguese English dictionary (rev 1975), you will have a hard time topping this little gem.

Summary: Handy
Review: This little book fits in the palm of your hand, and has a convenient, water-proof binding. It is very easy to use, with bold print for the words you're trying to find, and regular print for the definitions. It translates from Portuguese to English in one half of the book, and from English to Portuguese in the other half -- a useful feature in case someone needs to communicate something to you.
