Having purchased this item a few weeks ago,it has been of great use to me for A2 French. I must add however that this dictionary is not 100% complete and, while a great bulk of words used in written and spoken French are present, occasional words(mainly informal/slang terms and technical/specialist terms) are missing.
In summary, I would recommend this book for any studying French up to A2 level as it fits nicely in a school bag.

If you are looking for a dictionary with cheap price I suggest this one, because it is a little one with big knowledge. You cannot find everything but you can find what you need.

Small but by no means comprehensive
This dictionary is not a comprehensive one but is small and easy to carry around if either visiting france or reading french text on the go.
