2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 26, 2008

Usually I love Rough Guide products but this time I was sorely disappointed. I bought this phrasebook in a store in Oaxaca, Mexico where it was needed because few people speak any English. I speak some Spanish but needed some help. Every time I went to the mini-dictionary for help, it wasn't forthcoming. When my kid needed the Spanish word for pancake syrup, this book was useless, both in the dictionary and in the food guide. (btw it's maple, mop-lay). Every other word I also tried to look up, common words, were missing as well. The menu guide was especially annoying because it was ONLY in Spanish with English translations, instead of both ways. And it didn't cover the entire country's cuisine, only certain regions, there was no Oaxacan cuisine in there at all. If I'd had time, I would have returned it and bought another. I was sorely missing the pocket dictionary I used to have that seemed to have every word in Spanish I ever needed!

I got this as well as the Lonely Planet version of the same. They are both very helpful, this one has a shorter "phrases" section and a longer dictionary section, but between the two i think they have everything covered. I like them both a lot.
