 Handy and Dandy September 2, 2008
This pocket dictionary is just the thing for travel but also can be used for studying Swedish when waiting in traffic, a doctor's office, etc. The mini grammar in the back gives one much to chew on, and the basic phrases are always good for review. I like the blue print, and the handy blue line between Swedish-English and English-Swedish. Don't expect the book to have all the words you need - otherwise it wouldn't be such a neat little size. Thanks to the conversion tables on the back page, you can even convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit. What more can you want?
compact, but useful July 8, 2008
This dictionary has a decent word selection for everyday use. The mini grammar with irregular verb lists in the back is a helpful reference.
The biggest downfall is that English word pronunciations are shown straightforwardly in the IPA scheme, but Swedish word pronunciations are not. Instead they are shown in a more difficult scheme using Standard British with some consideration given to General American pronunciation; this scheme is not fully explained. IPA for both would seem to be the obvious choice since it is precise and can be explained easily for both major dialects.

Sparse, but okay for travel April 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was a bit suprised at how small this was. (I did neglect to read the size in the product information) It seems like a good book for travel, but a bit sparse for home or office. I also was expecting hardcover, as listed, but it has a flexible plastic cover.
Pocket dictionary with information for travelers March 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This pocket dictionary really will fit in your pocket! It has a flexible plastic cover which should wipe off easily if need be. It also has blue headwords. It appears to be as comprehensive as one would expect for this size. It includes both American and British usage (the American usage is indicated by Am). The introduction and guide to pronunciation are in both languages. There are also 32 pages at the back with information for travelers (in both English and Swedish): basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, a mini-grammar with irregular verbs, numerals, how to tell time, and metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit and Centrigrade/Celcius.
