Nice travel assistant

Thin, cover is about paperback sized and is about 1/2 inch thick. Easy for carrying in a bag. Phrases included are pretty useful, though with all travel phrase books there will be phrases missing and phrases you don't use. It's very thorough, and includes pronunciation. Some of the bonus facts are a bit off, and at least one is definitely wrong (it states that US cell phones cannot ever be used in Europe, which is incorrect as many new cell phones are dual or tri band these days, and those most definitely can be used overseas). I'd still recommend buying this book, just take facts with a grain of salt and do your travel homework elsewhere.
