About this title

Review:

Amazon customer reviews of Collins Gem Phrasebooks:

“They are easily navigable with colour coding for different sections. My favourite bit, though – which I couldn't do without – is the awesome menu reader! They're really discreet for bringing out at the dinner table, pretty much fitting in your hand, and avoiding the truly obvious tourist look!”

“Easy to use, very light to carry and the food dictionary in the middle of the book is a life saver when your waiter doesn't speak english. A must have.”

“Much smaller than the usual Berlitz guides but equally useful.”
