Reviews of Katzner's English-Russian Russian-English Dictionary on CD-ROM

Reviews of Katzner's English/Russian Russian/English Dictionary.

"The CD-ROM version has taken a distinguished dictionary, the first major bilingual Russian dictionary devoted to American English, and admirably adapted it to the computer age."

Howard H. Keller, professor of Russian, Indiana University

This wonderful dictionary of Russian and English had been my staunchest companion throughout the previous year, during which I had translated Eugene Onegin into English verse. So taken had I been with Katzner's dictionary, and so dependent upon it, that I had purchased four different copies so as to have it on hand wherever I might find myself – my bedroom, my study, my office, my kitchen. There is simply no other work that comes close to bridging our two contemporary languages as well."

Douglas Hofstadter, professor of cognitive science, Indiana University, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid", and of "Le Ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language"

Comments from readers (quoted on Amazon.com)

"Beats Oxford and others by a long shot. Served me well in college and continues to do so."

"I am from England, not America, and still find it better than any of the English dictionaries on offer."

"The best single source of Russian language available to American-English speakers. It is, in a word, revolutionary."
