2.0 out of 5 stars Greek Small Dictionary, November 22, 2001

This review is from: Langenscheidt's Standard Greek Dictionary: Greek-English, English-Greek (Plain) (Hardcover)

The fonts are hard to read. Courier New Greek would have been a better choice. I do not know why editors who know nothing about the
language involved choose the fonts they do for foreign language
dictionaries. A lot of common Demotic words simply are not there. This dictionary is a better than nothing dictionary,
but I would keep looking if you want something easily readable....The other thing is this dictionary contains no
conjugations and no aorist stem roots. It is bare bones.

3.0 out of 5 stars Did not fulfill my need, August 2, 2001

I was actually looking for a Greek/English dictionary to help me with some words and phrases that are used in "Corelli's Mandolin." This dictionary is very complete but not helpful for me and my needs. Still looking for a Greek/English book that will help me understand those mystery bits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a great resource, January 27, 2002

The Langenscheidt Greek Dictionary is NOT the dictionary you'll want if you plan to use your Greek dictionary with any frequency. The entries are crammed together and hard to read, the print quality is poor, example of word usage are almost completely lacking, and compared to other dictionary available, it has far fewer entries. It's cheap, which is a selling point I suppose, but if you can spare the change you should go for the Liddell & Scott Dictionary instead, it's a much better deal.
