Nice dictionary

"Pocket" can be a misleading term. It is a big and heavy dictionary, not meant to be carried around.

Pocket Oxford Italian dictionary

This item arrived in just a few days after I ordered it.It was in perfect shape and I reccommend for serious students of Italian.

good stuff

i must say that i`m a beginner in italian, but somehow i couldn`t find good polish-italian dictionary, so i chose this one. it`s really good tool.

Useable, but....

It's useable, but I wish it had the pronunciations for the Italian words. It has pronunciations for the English words, so why not the ones for Italian? The verb tables could be more thorough. There are better Italian dictionaries out there, but for the price, it's not bad at all.
