Very Good Value
This is an impressive book: useful for anyone learning English or Polish. I have been learning Polish for a few weeks and this was a welcome change from the usual material available for English people. A Polish friend took a look and now wants a copy, even though her English is already excellent. It is NOT an alternative to a standard POL-ENG dictionary. It is the best Polish book I have for simply picking up and browsing, and I've bought most of them on here.

Beautifully presented picture dictionary
If there's such a thing as a coffee-table dictionary this is it. Whereas my other dictionaries are either on book shelves or in the bag I carry with me to work/classes, this one really does sit on the coffee table at home. The beautiful presentation combines with a size and weight that makes the book feel good to hold (there are some very clever people at Dorling Kindersley), with the result that I often pick this picture-dictionary up to browse through it during quiet moments. How often can you say that about a dictionary?

The only negative (and I am not taking a star off for this as the dictionary is otherwise so good) is that there is nothing specific to Poland in the book. It is clear that the same set of photographs is used regardless of which language the dictionary is for (DK do picture dictionaries for a number of languages), so anything that is unique to Poland does not appear in the dictionary, this being particularly noticeable in the various food pages. Even so, this is still a great book.

Polish English visual bilingual dictionary (DK dictionaries)
I'm an ESOL teacher and my Polish students love this dictionary. They have ALL the words they could ever need at their fingertips (even the 'rude' ones on the detailed pictures of the human body!). The pictures are all clear and the layout is easy to follow. Now we need a Lithuanian one.
