Reviewer: Stephanie Radawiec from Michigan
This is a very small, but very useful book. It contains basic words for everyday communication. It also contains some short phrases/idioms.

the best reference and self-study grammar of serbo-croatian, June 21, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from east coast, usa
Magner's book is one of several I have used for language instruction and reference in the last months, and I find it more complete and easier to use that any other self-study book in print. A close second is the Routledge book, but Magner's index and dictionary are far superior. The book is good as both a reference and as a beginning textbook. Excercises are given in both the latin and cyrillic variants, and represent the two major standard dialects (ijekavian/ekavian) they are associated with, so that the student has a choice or may become familiar with both. Overall, this is the most compact and useful book of its kind on the market. Highly recommended for students and linguists. The grammatical explanations are not very elaborate, but the examples given for the individual topics under discussion are among the more useful that i have seen.

Does what it says!, February 13, 2001
Reviewer: stan sorenson from Paris
This is easily the most useful book around - cheap, fits in the pocket and has most of the important words you need. Does exactly what it promises. If you want more, I'm afraid you'll have to fork out almost three times as much for its nearest competitor - or else buy a home in the former Republic (!).
