Arabic-English Dictionary: The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic Hardcover – January 1, 2011

very well organized. Good to know many non-popular meanings of certain common words. For e.g 'Hijab', popularly known as a headscarf has other meanings too like 'Barrier'. As a mater of fact, The Koran contains 5 verses with this word and not once is it referring to a headscarf which is a biblical concept rather. SURPRISE!

The Hans Wehr will remain the gold standard in Arabic dictionaries, and is an essential tool in the hands of students of any level beyond learning the alphabet.

Some of the printed pages are a little smudged and a misprint on a couple pages. All printing issues.

I'm starting to think I'm the only person on the west coast who can read this.

The quality of printing is very poor. I doubt whether it is even printed at a decent press. Also, the quality of the paper is bad too.

Thanks

Classic. A necessity when struggling with the language.

Fantastic!
