"Small and suits my needs"
Mine is the Turkish book, purchased in Istanbul in October 2002 in a Turkish bookshop. Bright yellow, an inch thick and only about 3 inches by 4 inches in size, it suits my needs!

All I wanted with this dictionary was to have a little book to carry around, to supplement the Turkish language books when they miss a verb. I enjoy 'reading' it, learning sometimes how words are related, sometimes how they are not. There are words that define families that are wonderful (father's brother, sister's brother, etc.)

Evidently (according to the only other legit review of this dictionary) it is out of date -- mine doesn't really appear to be, (how does a language go completely out of date in 20 years?)

This dictionary doesn't deal with colloquial phrases (you need a colloquial phrase book for that), but does have a ton of words stuffed in.

A supplement to my collection, this book is just fine though perhaps it doesn't have all the current catch phrases!

"Could be a lot better - very out of date"
This dictionary seems handy enough until you actually try to use it. Turkish is a constantly changing language and the creators of this dictionary don't seem to have a grasp of true Turkish. After using the dictionary I am very often I corrected by native Turks who say "Where did that come from; that's totally wrong."
And, as I become more fluent myself, I see the vast number of discrepancies contained both in this book and the larger Turkish one by Langensheidt.

"Flawed yet indispensable ", I can't complain too much because there aren't that many Turkish-English dictionaries out there, but this one has some small issues.

First, I've found two typos so far. They were minor ("to rob oneself" instead of "to rub oneself") but I suspect there may be more.
Second, there are discrepancies between the English section and the Turkish section. For example, I hear a Turkish word and look it up. It's not in the Turkish section, but I guess the meaning, look it up in English and it's there.

Having said that, what I like about the dictionary is that it includes many forms of verbs (the passive, reflexive, causative, etc) which make my time in Turkish class a lot easier.

A warning: Turkish changes quite a bit. With this dictionary (or any dictionary) one probably wouldn't be able to tell if a word is old or new, or which is more acceptable to use in speech. Be prepared for people to correct you.

All things considered, I carry mine everywhere I go.

"Useful", This dictionary is very useful for beginers that are learning turkish. You can take it in your pocket to the classroom doesn't ocupy a lot of space. Useful for beginers but if you want to continuing to improove you should buy a bigger dictionary with more words. To begin is good. Very precise and easy to look for words. Good price also.

"Kinda feel a bit cheated", I honestly think it would have been in better condition and cheaper if I had purchased it new. It is a little haggered on the outside. However it is a perfect travel size and I look forward to referencing it upon my travels all over Turkey. Service was very prompt.

"Dictionary review", Good basic dictionary and the right size to fit in a pocket or the glove compartment of the car.

"Langenscheidt's universal turkish dictionary", Just the basics, but there isn't currently much choice in the low price category.
