Review
This new dictionary will no doubt prove invaluable to those embarking on their first steps in 'real' Greek with the absence of a course book to guide them ... anyone undertaking post-beginners' courses either at university or elsewhere will also benefit greatly from this volume ... clear layout, large print and, genuine affordability ... the editors should be praised for the clarity of vision underpinning this dictionary, which will surely make a major contribution to the study of the Greek language. JACT Review, Summer 2003

I was a bit unsure about buying this book because I already have two Greek lexica. I was persuaded to buy it because of its English - Greek section, which many do not have. I am currently doing my Greek A Level and anyone who has ever studied using N&H's "Greek Prose Composition" will know that the vocabulary in the back is not always as helpful as it might be! The rest of the dictionary is very good. The Greek-English section is very thorough and the text is well set out. Well done to the authors for including thumb tabs for the letters - it makes finding a word much quicker! Even more helpful is the fact that the dictionary includes an index of proper names (essential if you are unsure of the accepted English tranliteration of a Greek name), a list of principle parts of common irregular verbs and a map of Ancient Greece. All in all a very valuable asset and well worth the money. Also very helpful is the "Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek" by James Morewood.

Covers almost all NT words, although its focus is classical Greek, very helpful table of 100 irregular principle parts and the English to Greek is valuable too. Again and again the authors have so helpfully preempted a beginner's difficulties with tracing a root by helpfully including entries for unusual aorists and other parts in the dictionary itself.
Highly recommended (large) pocket dictionary.

having studied Ancient Greek for 5 years now, I would say that this book may turn out to be very useful sometimes, expecially when in a hurry or not at home: it is very user-friendly and clear.
However, if you want to have a deeper insight into Ancient Greek and the different translations/connotations of words, then choose something more professional.

Greek to English section is very good, especially in that it gives the Attic equivalents of some Ionic forms. Read more

Unfortunately order was during the grounding of airlines due to volcanic ash. Understandable delay in the circumstances.

Great dictionary - as per other reviews - but very flimsy binding!!
I can't really add much to the other reviews here in terms of the linguistic utility of this book: there is no serious competition. Read more

Almost perfect
