3.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality, acceptable dictionary, February 24, 2000

By	Scott Roth (USA) - See all my reviews

I found this dictionary moderatly complete in its number and accuracy of german words. However, the quality of my book was unacceptable. The print was unclear and at times came off the pages onto my hands. After a translating excercise, my hands would be black from the poor quality ink. Also, the binding was not acceptable. After only one semester of normal use(even below normal use since i've found online translating servers), the pages began to fall out. Very poor manufacturing quality, yet average to above average for number and definitions of german words(that is if you can actually read the letters). I recommend Langenscheidt's as a company, just not this particular dictionary

5.0 out of 5 stars This book needs two review categories, December 9, 2000

By A Customer

This is a very, very good dictionary for information and ease of use. I can find any word I need and it contains many example phrases. However, it has a very poor binding. My 5 star review is solely for the content. I'd give it a 1 for durability since the pages will begin to separate from the binding. If you use it everyday, plan to buy another copy within a year or two. Langenscheidt's needs to find a new manufacturer for this fine dictionary.
