Title: Great dictionary, phrase book, with caveat
Review: If you are young and have good eyesight this book will be PERFECT for your trip to China. My only complaint is that the print is very small. This book is well-organized, useful, and gives good instruction on pronunciation. You should know ahead of time that Chinese is not like European languages - you can't just buy the book, approximate what you see on the page, and make yourself understood. You have to study it a bit, and practice. I would say this is a good companion travel book to those who have taken some time to actually study a bit of Chinese. I found the Fluenz Mandarin program to be excellent for that.
