Summary: A Fun Reference
Comment: A great noun builder for intermediate to advanced students of German (or German-speaking students of English), this book will help you attain a degree of precision in your vocabulary that would be difficult to achieve any other way without a substantial investment of time. The dictionary is arranged by subject areas varying from the highly technical (e.g. precision instrument parts) to the everyday (e.g. tableware). About one-fourth of the volume is taken up by the index which is eminently helpful if you want to quickly find the translation of a particular word without having to wade through the many subject areas. This edition did not incorporate the recent German spelling reform (Rechtschreibreform) which effected only a small proportion ofthe German vocabulary and for most purposes is a relatively minor distraction. Well-suited for browsing (a rare quality for a dictionary) and very different from most other language learning resources, consider this book a must-have for the serious language student.

Rating: 4
Summary: Great Resource.
Comment: Extremely helpful for technical as well as misc entries that can be extremely hard to look up in a traditional dictionary. Being organized by subject is very helpful. Illustrations are somewhat dated (Especially with computers which may want to see an update since there are now more components to a computer which did not exist when this book was published). This book is a fantastic resource for anyone learning German and is essential for those who find themselves using technical terms.

Rating: 5
Summary: German - English (and American English)
Comment: 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.
