3.0 out of 5 stars
Good overall dictionary, March 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: World Dictionary of Foreign Expressions: A Resource for Readers and Writers (Paperback)
While the above Booklist review brings up many important points, I think that this is a good, not too thick, basic foreign expression dictionary that will help the casual reader and user understand phrases. Entries also include the person the phrase or expression is attributed to -- such as veni, vidi, vici from Caesar.

A literate person needs to both understand and use expressions from other languages. This is a good tool to help you do so.
