Excellent dictionary, well-documented, with a practical guide gramatical and inserts providing useful information such as the list of major fruits or very various comments such as those on the role of the Bundesrat or the variety of German breads. The only thing that could make this work is related to its quality, namely the very rich. Therefore, to get to do everything fit in a pocket size, we had to play on the print margins; they prove a little too fair for characters that are close to the binding and reading is not always easy. The format is a "pocket" large and it takes deep pockets to carry a garment in the dictionary if you want to have on hand during visits to Germany. Despite these criticisms on clutter, highly recommended book for its richness and originality of its writing.
