[John Coatney · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very useful and concise description of parts and symbols of the BHS. A useful reference; I wish it were available electronically.

[Zack Hudson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A satisfactorily simplified guide to BHS

[Drake Hyman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very helpful little tool for deciphering the congeries of symbols and accents in BHS, most of which are unnecessary for the average reader. Were it not so expensive and scarce, an impecunious seminary student like myself might consider buying it!

The fourth edition takes out some helpful features that the third edition includes.

[Josue · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great resource to have if you own a BHS.

Le faltan algunas cosas pero es una guía sencilla que ayuda a entrar en la BHS.
