I ordered this book for our trip to Italy and took it everywhere with me. It provided all of the phrases that we needed to get around Rome as well as travelling through the Italian countryside where few people spoke English. It is packed with great information and practical advice, yet small enough to carry around with me.

This book was difficult to use when trying to translate an Italian word. There is no single lookup, but rather chapters on various topics. I waded through these chapters when looking for a word, but was never able to find any of the words I was looking for. These were frequently seen words also. For example, you would think the chapter on driving would include frequently seen road signs, but it doesn't.
