The Meridian Hebrew/English English/Hebrew Dictionary (Reference) (Hebrew Edition) Reviews:
An old dictionary reprinted 
2008-06-19 - Good overall dictionary, but merely a reprint of a 1975 dictionary. Does not include a lot of words added since then to the Hebrew language. Needs an update.
Limited use. 
2008-06-02 - Buyer beware. This dictionary is of limited usefulness as the Hebrew words are spelled in Hebrew characters only.
Good Dictionary 
2007-11-22 - Instant, easy to use and precise, like it says on the cover. The only complaint I have, but it's true of many such dictionaries, is that the vowel point print is way too small.
Hebrew English Dictionary
2006-11-10 - I find that this dictionary is easy to use and the type is large enough to be seen easily. All vowels are clearly marked.
I Love it!
2006-10-21 - I'm a beginning Hebrew student--self-taught because of disabilities that prevent me from taking classes. This dictionary is a wonderul aid. One of the things I especially love is the transliteration. Hebrew words are transliterated into English letters, and English into Hebrew. The latter has been especially helpful for checking my pronunciation. Since I already know how the English words are pronounced I can use the transliteration to see if I've gotten all the sounds right. And, of course, I can use the Hebrew to English transliteration to check my pronunciation of the Hebrew words.
It doesn't give much information about a word's various senses. But when I want that, I turn to the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament; Renn's expositional dictionary; Strong's Hebrew lexicon; or Briggs, Driver and Brown. But those are tomes and they don't cover nearly as many words as this dictionary. So the lack of such information is not a flaw, but simply the result of a trade-off. The result, in my opinion, is a lot of bang for the buck.
All in all, I believe this book will be very useful to beginners as they learn the Hebrew alphabet and start building a vocabulary.
