Amazing book the size is so comfortable and handed

LIke other phrasebooks and dictionaries, this one contains them as well, but provides some very nice benefits for the traveler. In the dictionary section, there are both Dutch-English and English-Dutch dictionaries. There is the usual help with phrases, organized by categories: social, basic, food, travel, etc. In the front of the book are some explanations about Dutch grammar, which is helpful for a bit of in depth overview of the language. The phrases appear in English, then in Dutch, and finally in a phonetic fashion that you can read for a reasonable approximation of Dutch that should work in a pinch. English is very commonly known in Netherlands, so I'm not worrying too much about the phrasebook, but it's a nice gesture to at least be able to speak some phrases in the host language, such as good morning, please, thank you, pardon, and so forth. The book is small and will easily fit into a pocket for handy use. Recommended.

A good quality and useful book, as you would expect from Lonely Planet. A little pricier than some other phrasebooks, but you get what you pay for, in my opinion. It gave me the confidence to try speaking to locals when I was on my travels, and helped me understand signs etc.
