Summary: This book never left my side
Comment: Despite two years of high school Italian, my skills are pretty weak but I know the basic grammar, conjugation, etc. This book was a wonderful resource for two weeks in Italy as well as a handy way of reviewing those old lessons. Yes, it would have been nice to have a larger vocabulary coverage, but that then leads to a book too difficult to keep in one's pocket. The vocabulary coverage was still quite good and key phrases were well organized. For those that have had some basic Italian, there are some more advanced lessons for tenses, forming adverbs, etc.
Using this book does require a bit of flexibility and don't expect to find everything in a split second. It helps to skim through the book in advance and always keep it by your side.

Summary: Not user-friendly
Comment: If you are planning to use this book as a tutorial for an extended stay in Italy, then this book just might be helpful. However, if you want to use it as a simple phrase book AND as a dictionary, it is completely frustrating. Even the most basic words are not located in the dictionary section (most likely because there were included somewhere else in the book). Thus, if you need to quickly look up a word, it is incredibly annoying to sift through all of the sections of the book to figure out where that particular word might be defined.

Summary: Great for almost all needs
Comment: Having this book in Italy really improved my experience and my Italian. It is great from the English to Italian standpoint, but for translating Italian back to English, you still really need an Italian-English/English-Italian dictionary along with you. The nice thing about this book is its small size. It fits nicely into your pocket and you can leave your dictionary in a backpack for less frequent uses. The best tip I can give is this: when you're interacting with locals, just try and muddle through, ignoring the phrases you don't remember. Then, afterwards, go back and find the phrase you needed. It'll be more likely to stick with you then.
