Title: Persian-English Dictionary (Hippocrene Standard Dictionary) by S. Haim ISBN: 0-7818-0055-2 Publisher: Hippocrene Books Pub. Date: May, 1993 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |

Summary: Could be better.
Comment: This is a decent dictionary but very poorly made. I bought this dictionary only 2 months ago and the binding is falling apart. Unfortunately, there aren't many Persian dictionaries to choose from. The combined dictionay by Aryanpur-Kashani is the only other good bet even though the writing in it is very small and can strain your eyes.

Summary: Not Bad/ Handy
Comment: Def. a good book to have. But it is missing a lot of everyday words and does not explain slang or expressions.
Rating: 3
Summary: A good dictionary for quick reference
Comment: This is a good dictionary for a beginning student of Persian language for the purposes of translating modern texts. It is not too daunting, avoids most of the archaic terms which make dictionaries like Steingass hard to use for a student of modern Persian and still manages to be relatively concise despite its small size. However, editor's claim that this book contains "hints for pronunciation" is almost entirely false - the author himself states in his foreword that this is a dictionary for writing, not speaking the words. There is no transliteration or vocalisation unless the word is considered tricky (unfortunately most are not) and so those intending to recite texts should consult a more through dictionary (possibly that of Lazard or even Haim's bigger dictionaries).
