Book Reviews of Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary

Book Review: Very useful guide, and easy to carry with you
Summary: 5 Stars

This little book is filled with useful phrases that you'll need while traveling in Italy. I've been using some audio and video Italian language programs, but this book will be in my pocket during my entire time in Italy. I highly recommend it.

Rick Steves' Italy 2009 guide, though, left a little to be desired for me. He only covers the areas in Italy that he would recommend you visit. Pesaro, for example was not included in that book, and there was one sentence on Rimini that I can sum up in one word, "over-rated" according to Steves.

You cannot go wrong with this phrasebook/dictionary. If you're considering it, I say go for it. But if you want an Italy guidebook, I would say check out Fodor's Italy 2009 (Full-Color Gold Guides). I looked through various guides in the bookstore, and this one impressed me the most. Happy traveling!
