4.0 out of 5 stars Pocket dictionary with information for travelers, March 14, 2008

This pocket dictionary really will fit in your pocket! It has a flexible plastic cover which should wipe off easily if need be. It also has blue headwords. It appears to be as comprehensive as one would expect for this size. It includes both American and British usage (the American usage is indicated by Am). The introduction and guide to pronunciation are in both languages. There are also 22 pages at the back with information for English travelers: Dutch basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, a mini-grammar including irregular verbs, numerals, and how to tell time. It also has metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit Centrigrade/Celcius in English and Dutch. (The pocket dictionaries for some other languages have all of this information for both languages; Langenscheidt apparently left the English information out of the Dutch edition so the total page count would be the same as for the other dictionaries (a cost-saving move on their part).)

I very much like these dictionaries and normally I have a larger one, this one does actually fit in your pocket and I guess that would be fine if I was traveling, but I am not. So, I would love a larger one similar in size to a paperback novel or a little larger (small notebook). I am using it sitting at a desk and it flips out of my hands easily. Other than that, it is okay. No problem with the information inside, except it is most likely limited due to the size of the book.
