 An old dictionary reprinted June 19, 2008
S. Ginsburg
Good overall dictionary, but merely a reprint of a 1975 dictionary. Does not include a lot of words added since then to the Hebrew language. Needs an update.
 Limited use. June 2, 2008

Buyer beware. This dictionary is of limited usefulness as the Hebrew words are spelled in Hebrew characters only.
 Good Dictionary November 22, 2007
Charles G. King III (Edmonds, WA USA)
Instant, easy to use and precise, like it says on the cover. The only complaint I have, but it's true of many such dictionaries, is that the vowel point print is way too small.

I find that this dictionary is easy to use and the type is large enough to be seen easily. All vowels are clearly marked.
I Love it! October 21, 2006
Mark Hartwig
I'm a beginning Hebrew student--self-taught because of disabilities that prevent me from taking classes. This dictionary is a wonderul aid. One of the things I especially love is the transliteration. Hebrew words are transliterated into English letters, and English into Hebrew. The latter has been especially helpful for checking my pronunciation. Since I already know how the English words are pronounced I can use the transliteration to see if I've gotten all the sounds right. And, of course, I can use the Hebrew to English transliteration to check my pronunciation of the Hebrew words.
It doesn't give much information about a word's various senses. But when I want that, I turn to the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament; Renn's expositional dictionary; Strong's Hebrew lexicon; or Briggs, Driver and Brown. But those are tomes and they don't cover nearly as many words as this dictionary. So the lack of such information is not a flaw, but simply the result of a trade-off. The result, in my opinion, is a lot of bang for the buck.
All in all, I believe this book will be very useful to beginners as they learn the Hebrew alphabet and start building a vocabulary.
