"Unsurpassed in its usefulness for both scholars and students." - Louis Janus, president, Norwegian Researchers and Teachers Association of North America"

5.0 out of 5 stars The best there is...., 7 Oct 2004
By INGRID (Farnham Common, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Brilliant. If only there were comparable Danish and Swedish versions. I have been using this dictionary for 20 years in my work as a translator and quite honestly it is the best dictionary on the market. My only quibble is that the typeface is very small, but the range of vocabulary is beryond reproach. After 20 years my copy has finally fallen apart and I am ordering a new copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 10 Mar 2008
Not a book for the complete beginner, but if you want to progress in Norwegian (which is a diverse family of dialects), this is the most important dictionary you need. Use English-Norwegian/Norwegian-English dictionaries by all means, but there is nothing on the market which comes close to the Green Book. Indispensable: you won't be able to properly translate without it. The only Norwegian-English dictionary to include both Bokmål and Nynorsk, as well as dialect words. If you're serious about learning Norwegian, you can't go wrong with this. No praise high enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need, 6 Jan 2009
By Gavin Morrice "Gavin" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Norwegian-English dictionary is essential when trying to learn more complex Norwegian. Once you get past the "Hello" and "How are you" stage you'll find that you need something like this to decipher the vast differences in dialect throughout the language.

As well as including slang, swearwords and differences in spelling, the dictionary shows examples of the word in context. This is the best reference I have found for improving my Norwegian vocab and understanding of the language.

Note- This dictionary only translates from Norwegian to English

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very practical...
I bought this dictionary thinking it would be useful. I found that first of all it only translates one way i.e.. from Norwegian to English. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I have worn out my first copy with continued reference
A brilliant book to help the new and advanced learner cope with the confusion of dialect words he or she will meet each day in Norway.
