Summary: Good enough for a pocket dictionary
Comment: In general Collins English-Portuguese Portuguese-English dictionaries are quite good. The larger sizes cater better for both European and Brazilian variants. In this they are comparable to Nitti and Ferreira's book on Portuguese verbs and Manuela Cook's Portuguese course, in particular the new one, 2002, Hodder & Stoughton Teach Yourself series. They form a trio I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to learn a Portuguese that can be used in Portugal, Brazil, some African countries, or anywhere else in the world where Portuguese is spoken.

Summary: Good enough for a pocket dictionary
Comment: Collins English-Portuguese Portuguese-English dictionaries are in general quite good. You can not expect much from the 'Gem' dictionary, but it does the job adequately. Much better is the next size up. Both cater for both European and Brazilian Portuguese, which is a strong point. In this they are comparable to Nitti and Ferreira's 5001 verbs book and Manuela Cook's Portuguese course, in particular the new one, 2002, Hodder & Stoughton Teach Yourself books. They form a trio I would recommend to anyone interested in knowing a Portuguese you can use anywhere in the Portuguese speaking world.

Summary: Not Bad
Comment: Not bad for pocket dictionary.
Notice the absence of some words due to its compact size.
Never understood how people are able to figure out how to pronounce words using a dictionary, thus don't be surprise if your pronunciation doesn't make you pass for a Brazilian.

As a Portuguese speaker myself, I judge this little book can be some help for those that don't have the disposition to carry an encyclopedia collection in their backpack.
good for a quick reference but not carry any deep conversation. [....]
