Title: It is not a easy to use dictionary.
Review: This book comprises of proverbs and vernaculars. Some phrases are regional. The proverbs were organized based on their Mandarin Pin-yin pronounciation. However, for those who do not know Chinese writing or pin-yin, this book is not quite helpful if you just want to understand Chinese proverbs. However, if you know Chinese and Mandarin pin-yin, you will find this book somewhat helpful. Also, the English index helps.As for me, who know how to read some Chinese (and do not know pin-yin), but would like to know the definitions of some proverbs, I find it difficult to look through the Chinese characters written in the back in order to find a proverb. Therefore, if the characters were typed and organized by strokes, that would be more helpful.
