I own several Czech phrase book and this one has fast become my favorite. I especially like the presentation of tips on how to behave in the Czech republic without offending your hosts. The pocket size is convenient for carrying, but,of course, that means the text is a little small for anyone with less than good near vision.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would have been more useful to point at phrases when necessary
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

Czech is not a simple language to learn. I spent about 5 days in Prague and this was handy to add a few short phrases to make staff at hotels, shops and restaurants smile and thank you for trying to speak few words of Czech. Without this book, I would not have made even the very minor additions to speech (that I still struggled with). Would have been more useful to point at phrases when necessary, but I didn't have occasion to do so.

1.0 out of 5 stars could not load on my kindle for android
Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2013

This book was a complete waste of money and time. It would not load on my kindle for android despite spending a lot of wasted time with the kindle specialist. After admitting there was a problem with book, the kindle specialist told me he would get back to me with a solution, which he never did. So I wasted both time and money and received no useable product in return.

despite the 2.5 star rating, i gave this book a chance as there were few alternatives. very glad i did. it is concise, imformative and has more than enough information to get you by on a city break. with a detailed content section at the beginning, it is easy to navigate to pull up required sections when needed.
if you are going to prague for a few days, this is perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Phrasebook
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2012

Collins is a trusted and well-known publisher when it comes to phrasebooks and this influenced my purchase. The Kindle version is obviously a copy of the paper version, but with the added benefit of search functionality and the ability to resize text etc. The book is very straightforward and also includes some useful tips for your visit to the Czech Republic (e.g. top ten tips of common practices and customs and a list of public holidays). Admittedly, when I arrived in the Country, I found all Czech people I spoke to very helpful and English was very widely and proficiently spoken. However, having the phrasebook was a good back up just in case.
