Title: Hebrew vowels missing - worthless if you know a little Hebrew
Product review: For each English phrase, this book presents the transliteration along with the Hebrew text, BUT the Hebrew text is missing vowels. If you have no intention of learning any Hebrew letters and plan to get by on the transliteration alone, you may find this book acceptable. However, if you already know how to read Hebrew -- or hope to be able to learn -- you'll wind up thwarted. People who are completely literate in Hebrew don't need the vowels -- but they won't be buying a Hebrew phrasebook either. Shame on Lonely Planet for making an otherwise decent book unusable to many of us.
