1.0 out of 5 stars
NOT a good resource!,
By jwolynetz@yahoo.com (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Czechoslovakia Concise Dictionary (Paperback)
I purchased this dictionary years ago just prior to relocating to Prague. It was one of the few such dictionaries available at the time for English-speaking Czech language students. I found the book to be woefully inadequate in the number of words, examples of usage, and grammar points given for each entry. I have a rather large collection of dictionaries now in both the Czech and Russian languages and Trnka's book was one of the worst I'd ever seen. I ultimately disposed of the book. In fact, most Hippocrene language books I've seen in bookstores are of very poor quality. As a linguist, I would never recommend them. One would be much better off purchasing Czech published dictionaries as I eventually was able to do.

Almost as bad as they say,
By Mme Verdurin (Prague, Czech Republic, Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Czechoslovakia Concise Dictionary (Paperback)
This dictionary is OK for a tourist who will use it to read a few store signs and order a beer, but it IS somewhat unreliable. Since there is so little else available, though, people will probably continue buying it. If you can wait until you get to Prague (or another big town), you'll find better and cheaper dictionaries there.

This review is from: Czechoslovakia Concise Dictionary (Paperback)
Annoying font, confusing layout, highly abridged. This book is supposed to be a reference tool, but it seems like the publishers decided to try to make it look "hip" by giving it a stylized old-fasioned typewriter font and putting the entries in all lower-case. You will find about as much content in a phrasebook (though in a different layout.) For in-depth translations, definately go with one of the larger (pricier) hardcovers.
