Summary: Not bad, but written in 1962!
Comment: While overall I think this is a very handy little phrasebook, and the pronunciations are nicely done, it's important to know that it is a Dover reprint of a book last updated in 1962.

For that reason, if you follow the book's suggestions unquestioningly, you may sound like a throwback to another era -- or a jerk. No one summons a waiter by saying "Garcon!" anymore. (The term these days is Monsieur.) You're liable to get terrible service if you try it.

It's best to use this book for words that don't change much over time, like names of foods, please and thank you, etc. Don't rely on it for any kind of new technology (it just isn't in there), for fashion (you probably aren't going to ask for that sweet little hat in the window or a pair of dungarees) or for anything that might be influenced by the enormous social changes of the last 40+ years!

Summary: Parle vous to you too
Comment: If you travel and want to get language basics with no nonsense, this is the guide for you. Dover has a standard format that can be followed in any language. The phonetics are easy to follow and understand. It's like speaking in French while reading in English! I personally do not trust other publishers, since most lack precision in pronounciation and fill pages with unnecessary graphics. Dover goes straight to the point, giving the novice reader easy access to any phrase in any language.
