I thought this would be small enough to fit easily into a belt bag for on the go reference. Not so, it is the size & thickness of a regular paperback book taking up too much room. Good for use at home but clumsy for on the move usage.
Grazie - Larousse dizionario Italiano/Inglese magnifico!As a tutor I've used Larousse Spanish/English and Polish/English pocket dictionaries which were invaluable tools. Now I'm learning Italian and find myself on the other side of the table as a student. This dictionary is the next best thing to having a tutor - even more so because it's always with me. It's already "dog-eared" from constant use. Highly recommend Larousse dictionaries for any use when learning a foreign language.
Dimensions: 7" X 41/4" X 1 5/16". The one and five-sixteenth of an inch is the width of the spine; you'll have to hold the pages tightly to get that reading, especially if you've used the dictionary a few times, since pages tend to fan out. I don't have a reliable scale on hand, but it does weigh more than a pound can of Libby's string beans, perhaps one and a half pounds. I have a few dictionaries that fit in my back jeans' pocket, this isn't one of them.As for the ease of use, the print is so close to the binding that you may need to spread the pages apart to see the print near the inside margin because it has a clearance of approximately 1/4" or less in some areas. That's the main reason I gave it a three star rating. For $6.95 and 135,000 words, however, it's an excellent buy. The target words are written in bold print, which is about font size 10.I bought this Italian-English dictionary to replace my combersome Webster and the ancient Mondadori, which is apparently no longer in print. I liked the Mondadori and neither the Webster or the Larousse compare in functionality and weight, but they'll do until something better comes along.
I love this dictionary. It has just about everything you can think of. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy and bulky, so really does not qualify as a pocket dictionary unless you're a kangaroo.
If you like to travel light while sightseeing, this is not the book for you. This is not a pocket dictionary! With the size of 4.25 x 7 x 1.5 in. thick, it would be impossible to carry. Easy to read with good spacing but better-suited to a desk.
I took this down to Brazil with me on my first trip where I knew almost no Portuguese. It was helpfull for looking up things in my hotel room or while in the airport but it was too bulky to carry out on the street or to restaurants with me....after all I din't want to stand out as a complete tourist. It would be a good supplement to a small pocket phrase book that may have fewer words but is more portable.
Unfortunately, this book does NOT give the pronunciation in Italian! Seriously??? It gives the pronunciation for English words but not for the Italian! I KNOW English- I'm LEARNING Italian! So, I purchased Barron's Italian-English dictionary at Barnes & Noble and it is exactly what I needed! Honestly, I will probably just donate this Larousse one to the library. For the nominal cost I paid, it's not worth my time and effort to return it. A complete waste, in my opinion.
It's simply a dictionary. Very high quality. what is there to complain about ?Not quite pocket sized, but still travel sized.
