A good little book to have around. Comes with a nifty 36-page pocket guide of tables. Worth the $$$.

This 672-page dictionary is very handy, attractive, and readable. The blue headwords are a nice feature. It is a little smaller than a standard/small-size paperback, and with thin pages, it is slimmer than the 672 pages suggest, even with the very nice vinyl cover. It is about .25"/.6 cm slimmer and narrower, and .75"/1.9 cm shorter than a 569-page paperback edition of La Fiesta del Chivo. I ordered mine a few months ago and have been using it regularly. For my needs, I find that too many of the Spanish words I look up are not there -about a third or greater. I need a cargo-pocket edition. The book may be more useful to those looking up English words, but I can't evaluate that. Note that of the pages with entries, 376 are dedicated to English words and 253 to Spanish ones. This may be standard for US editions -or editions sold here; but it's part of my problem. I'm sure a reverse mix would have made this a keeper, and perhaps even a more-balanced mix would have been adequate. I should note that I am quite fluent in Spanish and read about a book a month; so the words I look up are not your everyday ones. This pocket edition would probably be very appropriate for a traveler, or a high school or undergraduate student, though I'd guess not a Spanish major at any level. Unless compactness, and look and feel are your priorites. A final note is that I was able to buy a copy for under $5 from an Amazon seller. If I had paid more, I may have returned it; but for the price, it was still a very good buy that will make a nice gift when I find the appropriate Langenscheid. Saludos (which, by the way, is not in this pocket edition, jumping from salubridad to salvo) y suerte (which is).

Nice and concise and easy to carry with you as a quick reference.  These pocket guides are great; I also have one on the Tarot.

This pocket guide is easy to navigate through and provides the user with all the necessary information for every projection. And it fits in a lab coat or scrub pocket.

I have used this book extensively on several trips to London. Excellent descriptions allow you to determine what markets will be of interest... and which to avoid. Many of the smaller markets are hard to find without a guide of some sort, and this book is small enough to carry in your back pocket. If you intend to delve deeper than the crowded tourist attractions, this guide will open a window into what London is really like.

This is a good pocket reference. It does a lot to eliminate the confusion.

I have used Ted Andrews' Animal-Speak book for years - this pocket guide is a nice concise combination of Ted's Animal-Speak plus his Animal-Wise. The pocket guide contains just enough info to provide some insight into why a particular animal has shown up in your life right now. Good for keeping in the car or a backpack.

I like the organization of the book.  It does seem to be missing a few species here and there but a handy guide to have regardless, tucks nicely in the pack or a back pocket.

Quite clearly, this pocket guide does what it's supposed to do. It gives you a quick & dirty intro into the podcasting world. I already know a thing or two on podcasting but for beginners, this is a nice introduction. Why the 'but...'?? Well, there is a small chapter on 'Fixining common audio problems'. This was a very small chapter but I'd like to have that one a bit bigger. Perhaps in an other pocket guide? I liked that part because it kinda gives you shortcuts to some specific solutions to improve your audio, without going in the technical stuff. Very nice.

This book is a small collection of excellent and usefull maps of the varions sections of London. There is a small amount of additional narrative info, but the value is in the wealth of info on the maps themselves. If you get weary of trying to navigate a tiny map on your phone screen in bright sun, this book will save you. High-quality printing. Bright colors. Color photos throughout. Crisp, easy-to-read small type. The map keys are well annotated and there are lists of sight-seeing categories. Also a "tube" map! A street index at the back is also a handy feature. It's small, about a quarter-inch thick, (approx 5.5" x 8") light, and will fit into a cargo pocket or your bag. If your like your maps books to be both usefull and "pretty" this is the ONE and ONLY! It deserves MORE than five stars.

This is a useful small guide to the major (for the most part) trees and shrubs that you will encounter around the country.  Given its size (182 pages), it is not seeking to be comprehensive, but to give you an easy-to-carry guide to help pick out the plants you may encounter on hikes and walks.  This guide covers 160 different trees and shrubs.

At the beginning there are a few useful tools to help you identify your mystery plant.  There is a brief visual index of select leaves, flowers and fruits to get you started.  There is also an illustrated explanation for terms used in leaf shape and organization, e.g.,  Pinnately Lobed, Ovate and Lanceolate.

The book is divided into 4 sections:  Gingkophtya (a section of 1 tree, the Gingko), Gymnosperms (pines, firs, spruces, etc.), Angiosperms: Dicots (the largest sections, and Angiosperms: Monocots (mainly palms).  Each plant gets a single page.  Information presented includes scientific name, photograph of a mature plant, illustration of leaf, flower and fruit, a paragraph about the tree, and Key facts with anatomical details of the leaves, flowers, fruits, and growth range.

This pocket guide will help you identify trees, and spur your interest in nature.

I like this pocket reference guide, because it is small and light enough to carry along with me at gun shows.  I'd love to see it expanded slightly, and included as a Kindle book.  The content is objective, in that it has a range of many example M1 Garands documented with their observed characteristics, by parts and markings.  It aids in determining the originality of parts to a Garand as it would have been produced at the factories, and whether a rifle one might consider for purchase is a mixmaster or arsenal rebuild.  This book fills a niche, and is not intended to be an all-encompassing work on the subject.  It is a handy collector tool, and I give it 4 stars for usefulness, portability, and accuracy of information.

As a LMT, I find the pocket handbook very useful for quick reference when working with my clients. It is also small enought to fit in a scrub pocket.

I borrowed the 2013 edition from a friend, and found it so useful that I chose Rick Steve's London 2014 as the travel guide that I bought in Kindle format for my iPad mini. This made access very convenient. It took me awhile to figure out how to quickly find particular sections when I was on the move through London because paging through an e-book is different from flipping through a paper version. I also found that not all of the links worked accurately. So, I am giving the book 4 stars instead of 5. This Rick Steves guide covers many necessary topics of great value to travelers--such as price comparisons and considerations in using subways (the Underground in London) or taxis. The various maps are easily usable. I used to prefer a different line of travel guides, but Steves has become my favorite for information and advice! I appreciate, and agree with, their opinions!

This is a useful guide to help you travel around Beijing. Not absolutely essential, especially if you have other Beijing guide books available, but useful as a handy pocket-sized book to help you make full use of Beijing's fantastic taxi system.
