a rip-off from Cambridge University Press

there is nothing actually wrong with the content of this abridged version of really great dictionary – there is enough words here to make you understand everything. still, i remember the previous editions of this book as much better organized and with much better print. this dictionary is poorly organized, which makes the Introduction hard to understand, and its print is rather bad, which makes the Introduction Content and Dictionary itself hard to read/reference. (...)

up to date, better organized, with better print and much cheaper editions of this dictionary can be found through “native” bookstores.

don’t be cheated - buy native.


Still the best available

This is still the best available English-Serbo-Croatian dictionary available. I highly recommend this dictionary to all students of the language. Pay the extra money now and don't waste it on the inferior, cheaper dictionaries available. This, along with the companion SerboCroatian-English dictionary are a must for linguists, translators and students of Serbo-Croatian. This is an especially useful tool for those of you heading to Bosnia or Kosovo.

This dictionary is a standard, and very comprehensive. As it contains some Bosnian words, I am surprised that Bosnian is left out of the title as Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian Dictionary is not too long a title.

It is particularly nice that it is available online as orders for it have taken a long time for some people to receive.
