A good, fairly detailed dictionary with quality stock and pictures. Its laid out in "themed" sections (food, family, doctor, transportation, etc.) that are easy to follow. This is meant to be used as a travel companion so it is rather small in size. Unfortunately, that means it also has small print. That would be my only "complaint" about the book. I've used several of the DK Publishing travel guides over the years, and they've all been very detailed with some quality photos to accompany the text. If it was a little easier to read, I'd probably rate this one at a 4 (or poss.) 5 star.

A very lovely dictionary to use alongside another italian language and phrasebook! I enjoyed all the pictures and the way every page is set up. The sections for vocabulary and and adjectives were great.

Pictures are helpful but vocabulary too broad to be useful. Author would do better to focus on life and culture in Italy. I can’t imagine that users would really rather know the terminology for American Football, rather than Italian pastries or ice cream

Nice, but only a few entries and the stock photography is quite an uneven mix.

It's very good to learn the words for things, not for forming sentences though but this IS a dictionary after all :) I loved it!
