Title: A very poor English to Korean dictionary
Review: The use of the "Wordbook" in the title intrigued me, so I spent $2.00 and got a copy of this book. My copy is dated 1972, 1st edition. It is pocket sized (about 5" high x 3" wide x 1/4" deep).I cannot imagine that anyone would find this book of use.It has a brief introduction to Korean pronunciation and grammar (5 pages), and then has a very small English to Korean dictionary (144 pages), with all Korean words given in phonetic English ( NO HANGUL IN THIS BOOK ANYWHERE!!! ).There is an Appendix which contains:(1) a compendium of "useful phrases" (16 pages),(2) Numbers and counting (6 pages).There is no Korean to English section, and no introduction to the Hangul alphabet. In so far as any book can be considered useless, I would suggest that this one is. Far better resources exist for anyone interested in Korean.
