Title: 5th edition is horrible
Product review: I own the 4th edition of Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook and think it is kinda useful. (Despite a large amount of typoes). So I was quite happy when I saw the new edition on sale and assumed that it would be an improved and corrected version. However, when I opened the book I could not believe my eyes. Instead of Pinyin the author uses some weird romanization system that is often totally inaccurate.My advice is to get a copy of the 4th or wait for the 6th edition (which hopefully uses Pinyin again)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
