Title: Not useful for tourists
Review: First this book is rather large for travelling, but I picked it because it was the only one at the store that used English phonemes to show how to pronounce the words, which I need. The printing is very large, which can be useful, but I would have preferred smaller font and a smaller book. My biggest problem with this book is that it didn't have the words useful for travelling (such as reservation), which rendered it almost completely useless for me. It has an example sentence of how to use each word (I am no judge as to the correctness of these sentences), which probably would be useful for learning the language, but not to someone who just wanted to be able to get around Italy. If you are looking for a companion for travel, I've had good luck with the Cortina Dictionary Series (German and French). I definitely cannot recommend this book for travelling.
