Reviews

[John Coatney]

A very useful and concise description of parts and symbols of the BHS. A useful reference; I wish it were available electronically.

[Zack Hudson]

A satisfactorily simplified guide to BHS

[Drake Hyman]

A very helpful little tool for deciphering the congeries of symbols and accents in BHS, most of which are unnecessary for the average reader. Were it not so expensive and scarce, an impecunious seminary student like myself might consider buying it!

[Ryan]

The fourth edition takes out some helpful features that the third edition includes.

[Josue]

This is a great resource to have if you own a BHS.

[Fede Boccacci]

Le faltan algunas cosas pero es una guía sencilla que ayuda a entrar en la BHS.
