In 1990 Collins launched its highly successful Phrase Book & Dictionary series which has achieved remarkable sales. In 1998 Collins plans to bring out completely new editions.

Previously 'two books in one', the new series will contain 'three books in one' - a phrase book, a food guide containing a menu reader and a dictionary.

The phrases are short and easy to use. The language reflects everyday speech - there are no lengthy sentences to struggle and sweat over. The phrases have a simple guide to help with pronunciation. There are also practical tips. The 4-colour layout allows easy accesss to key information.

Collins Phrase Books aren't just for emergencies. The specially commissioned food guides describe the different regional dishes and wines. They also contain a comprehensive menu reader to guide you through the maze of menus.
