I've bought the paperback-version of this dictionary, so it could be that the hardcover (?) version is much better and more complete.First of all some positive remarks: * It's a handy (though pretty heavy) dictionary; simple font and layout, but very readable. * A large amount of words and verbs.If you want to look up quickly the meaning of a word, or if you want to understand the basics of a text, this dictionary is an excellent match. But if you're looking for more; for more phrases, examples of pronunciation or daily communication, or perhaps the basics of Serbo-Croatian grammar, Morton Benson's dictionary won't be very helpful.* SERBIAN & CROATIAN. It's called "A dictionary of Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian standards", but basically it's a Serbian dictionary with the Croatian variation in brackets. Another thing which can be very annoying are the endless references to the Serbian spelling: zvijezda > see zvezda = star, or: lijep > see lep = beautiful, pretty.* BOSNIAN. Most people in Bosnia speak 'ijekavski', the Western (or Croatian) variation of a language we called in the past Serbo-Croatian. Though I'm not an expert on this field, Bosnian Moslems have their own linguistic variation, some call it a dialect, some call it slang, others call it a real language, which seems to be a mixture of the ijekavski- dialect and a lot of Turkish loan-words. But there's no trace of this Bosnian to find in Benson's dictionary, just ijekavski (Croatian) and ekavski (Serbian) are present. (Which doesn't mean that Benson's dictionary should be useless if you have to deal with Bosnian people, newspapers or internet-sites)* VERBS. Benson's dictionary contains a lot of verbs, but...
