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 21 pages at the back with information for travelers (in both English and Finnish): basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, numerals, how to tell time, and metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit Centrigrade/Celcius. English irregular verbs are also included. (The pocket dictionaries for some other languages have a mini-grammar with irregular verbs for both languages; Langenscheidt apparently left most of that information out of the Finnish edition so the total page count would be the same as for the other dictionaries (a cost-saving move on their part).)

great travel dictionary
Although there are many words you may wish to know that aren't in here, it's great for the size and value, especially if you're beginning to learn Finnish or need a compact, ACTUAL pocket dictionary, unlike Oxford's "pocket" dictionaries, which require pockets the size of a fanny pack. The blue headwords are very nice as well, and make for a quicker search for words.
