<BR>The Barrons Educational Series phrase books are far superior to Rick Steves. I have both of them and there is just no comparison. The Barrons Italian book is titled "Italian at a Glance" and has at least 50% more for the same price.<BR>An alternate to Barrons is the Berlitz "Italian for Travellers," also far better than Steves.

Cindy--I have the Barron's "At a Glance" for French, and also the Italian version. I have found both to be pretty useful. In addition to the bilingual dictionary, they list common words and phrases by subject, ie: hotel, transportation, banking, shopping, eating out and others.
