Review
"This dictionary scores outstandingly well in comparison with others of its size." --Margaret Alexion, Times Literary Supplement
"The dictionary is clearly printed and well laid out on good quality paper. Its flexicover will stand most wear. This is an excellent piece of lexicography and will serve well in any reference collection, especially at its almost ridiculously cheap price."--Reference Reviews

Format:Paperback
This dictionary is great value for money. At 572 pages, it's large enough to mean that you probably won't ever find yourself needing to traslate a word that isn't included.
It is my third Greek dictionary and by far and away the best (one is by Collins, the other I picked up in Cyprus).
It's by no means a "pocket" dictionary, but still it is very portable.
The font is fine; you don't have to squint, and the paper is a clean white, so there is a sharp contrast that makes the words very distinguishable.
If you're going to buy a Greek dictionary, I advise you to get this one.

I would have given this product a five had a `phonetic English' translation also been incorporated in the English -> Greek section of the dictionary. For a total novice to the Greek language this section might prove a bit of a struggle as Greek translations of English words are typed in with Greek lettering (meaning you having to refer to a letter/pronounciation chart at the beginning of the dictionary just to find out how each word is actually spoken).
I guess this item would be perfect if you are already familiar with the Greek language and, certainly a boon for anyone studying, or looking to study, Greek, but as a complete stranger to the Greek language - who is looking to just use the dictionary as a handy tool whilst on holiday - a bit of a disappointment.

This is my first dictionary in my attempts to read books and articles written in Modern Greek and for the most part it serves my purposes well. The words in Greek are easily accessed, for the most part available (i.e. most words I need to look up are present), and have definitions that fit well into whatever narrative I am reading. The book is fairly lightweight and portable but is a a little too large for a pocket (or at least my pockets). The words are in easily read bold print and the definitions are in a much fainter print that does not hold up too well for me in fainter light. The book stands up well to repeated use (no pages falling out so far). There is a section on pronunciation and the principal parts of some verbs but no extensive grammar section. Overall I am very happy with this book as a convenient reference.

This is a good dictionary for Greek speakers learning English but not so good for English speakers learning Greek. Read more

No pocket so large!
I'm sure this might well be a perfectly servicable English/Greek dictionary however... it is called a 'Pocket' dictionary... Read more
