I just got this dictionary today for Turkish-English English-Turkish, and I like it a lot. The blue headwords are convenient, and the definitions are good. There is also a section that explains grammar. I am very happy with it.

It's not the most comprehensive language dictionary I've encountered. Others are much better. They really mean "concise". Don't get this if you're actually planning to or currently are studying Turkish.

As with all dictionaries, it is precise and reliable. It does not have,however, are examples of how the words are used in context. This is a little frustrating when trying to use the book to write things such as engish or social studies papers.

We purchased this dictionary for my daughter's Turkish Language class as languages classes begin in fourth grade. The dictionary is very easy to use. One can look up an English word in the rear English section to learn the Turkish word, or one can look up a Turkish word in the front Turkish word section to learn the English word for it. My nine year old daughter was able to begin using it easily. It would be helpful to have the pronunciations for the Turkish words included in the Turkish and/or English section, however this is a minor adult complaint.
