Pocket dictionary with information for travelers
This pocket dictionary really will fit in your pocket! It has a flexible plastic cover which should wipe off easily if need be. It also has blue headwords. It appears to be as comprehensive as one would expect for this size. It includes both American and British usage (the American usage is indicated by Am). The introduction and guide to pronunciation are in both languages. There are also 32 pages at the back with information for travelers (in both English and Norwegian): basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, a mini-grammar with irregular verbs, numerals, how to tell time, and metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit and Centrigrade/Celcius.

Pocket-sized Norwegian dictionary!
I wasn't expecting this to be pocket-size (I didn't look at the dimensions on the listing), but it's great! The cover is soft plastic so it can handle being tossed in a bag. It's very easy to read with the words in blue bold print, and the translation/pronunciations in black. I can read the words fine, but they might be a little small for someone with bad eyesight.

Includes pronunciation, and gender on the Norwegian nouns (n. m. f.) when you are going English>Norwegian and Norwegian>English.

Great deal for $8!!

Impressive for it very concise nature
I thought this was a bigger dictionary, but the key words chosen were right on target for this type of traveler's language aide and as a quick reference. I liked the fact that the translations were very specific. The big green Norwegian dictionary is very good, but when I want to cross reference to find the specific intention of a word, I'd jump over to this one to see what the translation was here. I would like to get a hold of a full size dictionary from this publisher in this same style and format. It's interesting how few quality English to Norwegian dictionaries there seem to be and this is one of them... if a bit brief.
