5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent and Useful Dictionary, 1 May 2000
By A Customer
This is an excellent dictionary for day-to-day use. However if you are travelling to China there is no point buying it before you go. There are countless dictionaries exactly like this on sale in bookshop throughout the PRC for a fraction of the price. Therefore at this stage the size should make no difference: if you want it to travel with you should buy it later anyway; if staying at home then go for the larger 2nd edition which contains better example sentences, a larger range of binomes and more complex vocabulary.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best Chinese dictionary for English speakers., 12 Aug 1999
By A Customer
After struggling with the miniscule type in the first edition, it's a joy to use the second edition with its extensive revisions and much larger type.

This is the only dictionary that allows you to look up Chinese words by their pinyin spelling and to look up English words and find their pinyin and Chinese character equivalent. If you are studying Chinese this book is an absolute must. If you are traveling and want a pocket-sized dictionary, get the first edition otherwise you'll be a lot happier with the second edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for use of chinese character combinations, 19 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Enjoyed using this latest edition for personal study using the easy to use (and see) radical index for looking up characters. Many characters are used in combination to form words and word groups. This dictionary makes it easy to formulate your own sentences (if you have a basic knowledge of Chinese grammar) with suggestions in the English-Chinese and Chinese-English sections. Used in combination with Understanding Chinese, I can communicate in writing or speech and feel fairly confident that I'm speaking and writing as well as someone receiving formal instruction (instead of the self-taught student that I am). Great dictionary!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal dictionary for anyone seriously learning Chinese
The Chinese words are indexed in Pinyin which makes them easy to find (for us!). Unless you have excellent eyesight, I suggest you also buy a magnifying glass.

Content-wise, this is a good dictionary for everyday use by learners of Chinese. It might not be the dictionary of choice for reading newspapers or Chinese literature, but it's... Read more
