Reviews

[Claire S · Rating 2 out of 5]

As visually appealing this book is, I'm not sure how useful it will ever be. And I don't know if that's the fault of the book - which seems to have and be everything it promises - or a classic case of the appearance of something being crafted to promise the unattainable.

Beautiful illustrations. But i found an error.

[Hedwig Silver · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite good for a visual dictionary. Perfect for beginners.

10/10 marks for the visual aspect, but this is more helpful for Hindi-speakers looking for Western words than it is for English-speakers looking for Hindi-speaking-culturally relevant visuals.
