Just what you need if you're following a detailed piece of work or a serious hobby! Each double page has one or more detailed pictures on a theme with the German (def. art. and name). Worth knowing that the English word is given too, as these are not always household words.
The few colour plates really stand out. A picture is worth a thousand words, as the blurb says.

The price is in pounds not dollars. The name and says it all " Oxford-Druden." However this is an indispensable dictionary. Every page has a picture on it with numbers pointing to objects. The opposing page has the numbers pointing to words written in German and English. The English takes a little getting used to as it is British English (suspenders = braces, elevator = lift, and so on.) Can you say exposure control device in German (die Belichtungssteuereinrichtung.) tried that without pictures?

German Pictorial Review
30 Nov 1999
Having lived in Germany for five years I found this book extremely helpful. You can look up the area you may need information on and "voila" there is the picture and you can see what it is called in English and German. It has every situation. It has the following sections and then subsections under these. Atom, Universe, Earth Man and his Social Environment Nature as Environment, Agriculture, and Forestry Trades, Crafts and Industry and More, More and More. If you need your car fixed in Germany and you have questions on what you call a part you just go to this book and look in the automobile section and you will see very detailed pictures of a car and you find your part, the English word for it and the German word for it. If you are still having troule communicating just show them the picture. This book well deserves six stars

German - English (and American English)
2 Dec 2000
This is the most comprehensive vocabulary book for nouns - even in technical areas - that I have ever encountered. I have not seen another book like it. The bulk of the book is arranged by subject and the back contains all the vocabulary words arranged alphabetically cross-referencing with the subject section. This book is a must-have. It is a reference book. An earlier review mentions it is English not American. In my version (2nd Ed.), the American translations are in parentheses next to the English where there is a difference. There is no problem.

Extraordinary Vocabulary Builder
14 Feb 1998
The Duden pictorial dictionary is a phenomenon. Instead of embracing the look-up-a-word style of conventional dictionaries, Duden allows you to browse by subject. If your topic is, say, the mechanical parts of an automobile, you turn to that page and you see an in-depth illustration with numbers, and on the bottom half of the page is a list with the word in German and English for what the number corresponds to. This book is indispensible for learning technical terms not found in most dictionaries, and includes many subjects...sports (even fencing), gambling, automotive, general knowledge, etc...anyone who is going to work for a German firm or wants to increase their vocabulary on an every-day basis should get this book....it is truly exceptional.
