This conveniently small (portable!) book has words and idioms arranged
in standard dictionary format (for idioms this means organized by key
words). Example sentences make usage very clear. I only have one
complaint: idioms are not identified regionally. At any rate this book
would serve admirably as an aid to translation or understanding. After
the dictionary proper there are several smaller sections of words
grouped by theme and translated in both directions: English false
friends (extensive!), journalese, telephoning, food and dishes,
travelling, motoring/technical auto terms, animal comparisons and
analogies, AND a small section of English idioms. This little book is
incredibly helpful and you won't need another one like it.
