Review

'... the final section of the book on how to get your head around the index, makes searching for succinct idioms as quick as a wink.' QUATESOL NEWSLETTER NO 3, 99

'An amazing feature of the dictionary is its Theme Panels, 15 topic areas at the end of the dictionary where the idioms are grouped according to their meanings ... Every Theme Panel opens with a short text, which contains idioms printed in bold. The text can be used for various teaching purposes.' Ludmila Gorodetskaya, Moscow State University, English Magazine, Russia, May 1999
