5.0 out of 5 stars Good American English translation, December 21, 1998
By A Customer
This is the dictionary you should buy if you are an American. Many Italian-English dictionaries use the British English, and this is inaccurate for our uses. This is easy to use and includes conjugated verbs and grammar tables.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC., June 15, 2000
By A Customer
By now I speak Italian well enough to be called, by Italians, fluent, and in fact I've given a few lectures in Italian. I say that only to suggest that I've been around the block with Italian/English dictionaries and far and away this one has served me best. Only very rarely does it fail me and not have a necessary word or idiom, but otherwise this packed pocketbook is almost mystic in its sense of what American students of Italian need. First-rate: you need to spend a hundred bucks to do better, and how often do you want to lug down, or out, a book that size

4.0 out of 5 stars A First-Rate, Low-Cost Dictionary, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
The best paperback Italian-English Dictionary I've seen. Actually can compete with several of the high-cost hardbounds. A great buy for the money.
