5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for our trip, September 22, 2007

Since we knew nothing about the Italian language we decided to order this before our scheduled trip to Italy. It is good to have the book with us and point to the Italian word if we do not know how to pronounce it as it had the English word right next to it. A good way to travel and learn the language all at once. Thanks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly pocket size, June 4, 2010

I thought this would be small enough to fit easily into a belt bag for on the go reference. Not so, it is the size & thickness of a regular paperback book taking up too much room. Good for use at home but clumsy for on the move usage.

As others have stated, this is certainly not pocket sized! I appreciated knowing this from other reviews before purchasing and have found it to be a reliable and comprehensive dictionary.
