Review quote:
This new dictionary will no doubt prove invaluable to those embarking on their first steps in ”real” Greek with the absence of a course book to guide them … anyone undertaking post-beginners” courses either at university or elsewhere will also benefit greatly from this volume … clear layout, large print and, genuine affordability … the editors should be praised for the clarity of vision underpinning this dictionary, which will surely make a major contribution to the study of the Greek language. JACT Review, Summer 2003
