4.0 out of 5 stars very good, though wee bit dated, October 1, 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The copyright is beginning to show wear on this one, dating it poorly, but still useful for the writer. Just beware, many of the terms are either off the mark or just not used in today's UK. I have so many friends on both sides, that I like to give these as gifts and have yet to see the perfect one. Most have good sections that made me think them worth buying, but none never a 5 star. So it is with this one. It has a fun section for cockney at the back and even has a few Aussie terms tossed in to boot.

Just wish someone would come up with a REALLY GOOD ONE!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Jolly good fun for Anglophiles., October 14, 2000
By MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - See all my reviews
  
As a reference book, this one is not as good as it could be, but it's lots of fun. Most of the words and phrases I need to "translate" from British TV and movies are in here. (I say "most" -- not anywhere near "all.") But you won't find any "vulgarities" in here. She does give the meanings of a lot of the Cockney rhyming slang in the back. These are sometimes mind-boggling in their origins!
