Format:Paperback
I bought this book for a 4 day mini-break to Berlin, and it really helped us out! I did German at school about 10 years ago, so could barely speak a word, but with the help of this book, we got through fine (though almost everyone in Berlin spoke English!).
Most common phrases used were how to ask for a table in a restuarant, how to order, and what the menu meant!
It's pocket sized, so fitted comfortably in my handbag, and was fairly cheap too.
Would recommend for people looking for phrases to get by in German when going for a short holiday.

This phrasebook does give you a lot of what you would expect and need. Asking for directions, getting yourself something to eat, telling someone you've got a punctured tire etc.
The problem is that you won't necessarily be able to pronounce it correctly or understand the reply. I first used this phrasebook to go to Germany and it was sort of helpful but also sometimes unhelpful.
So, not terrible, but I would say don't use it entirely on its own.

I used the book more to look words up than to find a phrase, but I did use a few phrases out of it that turned out to be very useful. A small english/german dictionary would help too thought.

Useful, if a little flawed resource
The Lonely Planet- Fast Talk German phrase-book is certainly a mixed bag. The presentation and content are all relevant and excellent, if you can strain your eyes enough to see it. Read more

Fast Talk German
This is a very useful book for anyone making a short visit to Germany. There is not enough vocabulary for a long stay but as a small and easily accessible book it is OK.
