5.0 out of 5 stars This book was indispensable, a must for Italy!, March 31, 1999
By A Customer
My travel companion brought this book along and once I used it a couple of times, I hated to give it up. I used it for everything including bargaining, which saved us over $100. It also has a section that decodes menus which is not only useful but a life saver when you're dying to eat and don't want to risk something potentially unappetizing. It's too late for me to get the others for european countries, but I'm definetly buying the one for spanish to use here in Southern California. It also made us laugh because it's so thorough that it even includes conversing about suggestive subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful -- Take A Dictionary Too, September 17, 2000
In a recent trip to Italy, I found the Lonely Planet Italian Phrasebook to be helpful while buying train tickets and making basic transactions. The book stayed in my pocket as insurance against any situation that I may run into where the other party did not speak any English. (The book is a very good size for living in a pocket). I did find, however, in the heavy tourist areas of Italy, many people speak a little bit of English. So, I did not use the phrasebook as much as I had expected.

As a suggestion, take a small dictionary along with the phrasebook. The dictionary in the back of the book is incomplete. You will need a dictionary to translate signs and labels.

I suggest purchasing the phrasebook, but buy a small dictionary also. WIth the combination, you should have a pleasant trip in Italy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great phrasebook for every situation, July 31, 2000
By Paul Bobbitt "Pobbit" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
I visited Rome in October 1999, and I brought this book along with me. It was very useful for navigating through the city, and a wonder at restaurants. Also, while many phrasebooks are similar, the Lonely Planet phrasebooks are thoughtful enough to include phrases on sex (Was it good for you?), common pickup lines (Do you come here often?) and polite rejections for same (You're not my type.), and specific phrases for technology issues (I'd like to surf the Internet), disabled people (Is there wheelchair access?) and gay people (Where are the gay hangouts?). There's also a section called "Traveller's Latin", which will help you translate all the inscriptions you find on arches and tombs. In short, a well-rounded phrasebook for travellers who might not fit the standard tourist profile, or for ones who do!
