Summary: sloppy formatting and too many errors
Comment: This book has the right idea: a pocket-sized book with a good variety of useful everyday phrases, organized by subject. However, there are enough flat-out mistakes to be pretty annoying. Also, the English and Japanese did not line up perfectly on the page which, in combination with the the print being quite small, made it difficult to figure out which defintion went where (perhaps this is not a problem with all these books but it was with mine). But most annoying are the errors and typos.

Summary: GREAT FOR TRAVEL NOT TO LEARN LANGUAGE
Comment: Do not purchase this if you want to learn Japanese. It is a phrase book. Meaning it does not really tell u which word in Japanese is which word in ENglish it just tells you the phrase.
However, this book was wonderful for travel. However, if in Japan you are planning to stay at Japanese speaking peoples houses...i do not recommend this. It is some what dissorganized but all in all not to bad. Another con i ran into when usuing this book in Japan is that the dictionary does not include many common words at all.

Summary: Useful but Somewhat Disorganized
Comment: I used this book extensively while in Japan. It contains the most commonly useful phrases and a bare-bones grammar section, but the organization of the material could be better.
The format is "back-pocket" handy with a durable binding so it won't fall apart...unlike other phrase books I have used.
