Good basic dictionary,

This review is from: Irish-English, English-Irish Practical Dictionary (Paperback)
It isn't always easy to find a really good Irish dictionary, but this one comes closest to what I was looking for. It has a pretty good number of entries for a small book. It is a good reference for anyone who would like to learn Irish Gaelic.

A Small Wonder is a Grand Thing,
By Draoi "Draoi-Man" (New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irish-English, English-Irish Practical Dictionary (Paperback)
A mysterious sort of book; it kept dissapearing and seems to be possessed by a mischevious spirit from the Emerald Isle herself. Small enough, about 4" X 3" it is portable enough for the pocket traveller pressed for space whilst hiking through damp and desolate glens. I had difficulty turning the stiff pages; normally I like a good 'flick' factor in a volume whose main purpose is immediate and essential information... but I cant remember whether my incapacity to turn the pages was the fault of my drunkeness, the lack of clear daylight or the rough-looking country gentleman trying to pummel my face in with a 8lb monkey wrench.Nothing satisfies my soul more than an evening of etymological browsing, making curious connections and developing an enlightened repetoire of strange words with which I can impress friends, foes and family... and this dictionary is convenient enough if you actually happen to be learning Irish Gaelic. And remember the Irish Saying: "Tir gan teanga, tir gan anam" (The country without a tongue is a land without a soul!). Go mBeid gra is sonas i ndan duit (may peace and happiness be your destiny). David

This is a basic - very basic - Irish-English dictionary.A good starting point, but not as thorough as I would have liked it to be.
