Editorial Reviews

‘I am confident that this dictionary will become a standard reference on translator's bookshelves ... extremely good value.' - Language International

‘Every so often, there comes a specialist dictionary that really stands out from the crowd. And that's the case for the French Dictionary of Information Technology. The Presentation is agreeably clean and uncluttered, the book itself remarkably light in the hand for its size, and the price, £50, light on the pocket for such a work.' - Hieronymus

‘A very important, and attractively produced dictionary for research collections in academia and industry.' - New Tech Books
