This book is a worthwhile purchase if you do not speak French, or do not speak it well. The Lonely Planet series of phrasebooks is tailored towards those who intend to visit another country of a foreign language they do not speak, which makes their resources different from other language acquisition resources. For example, this book is very succinct, compared to academic language books. With that in mind, if this was your only resource while stranded in rural France, you’d best memorize it because it is approaching the minimum for language comprehension outside of standardized French. This book is constructed like a condensed series of notes for high-school French, and it has a relatively complete index. It has sections that are based on utility, like going to a restaurant, or words and phrases useful to the elderly.
I’m a little disappointed in the lack of colonial French references. If a would-be shopper is looking for a book that will help with colonial French, this book is helpful but the definitive resource. Realistically, that would be its own book. But at any rate, the index does not have any reference to South Africa, Réunion (àle Bourbon), or even "colonies." This is something of an oversight. This book would be better than nothing if a shopper intends to visit a(n ex-)French colony, but it discusses standard French and doesn’t cover regional language that you will find in Africa or Québec (not mentioned in the index). This is not a heavy criticism, since the book is tailored to be succinct and address France, not colonies, and Lonely Planet has other books for France’s colonies.
The pronunciation guide is rather strange though. While I didn’t grown up with an Anglicisation for French words, some transliterations strike me as bizarre.
