This review is from: German-English Dictionary, Second Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

I received the book earlier than the expected delivery date that Amazon informed me. Generally speaking, it is an excellent reference book for starters of German language. It contains common used words, useful phrases, irregular verbs and pronunciation. More importantly, it is a truly "pocket" dictionary - small, light, thus very portable. Highly recommended for starters. However, for professional, you need more than that!
