Small and Powerful

This book is small enough to carry in any pocket. The pictures are all photographs, so no problems with hard to interpret drawings. They show many variations on common items. For instance, it includes pictures of many types of sanitary fixtures, making it easy to point to the kind in the country you are visiting.
I hope it's not out of print...

A Real Help

I travel quite a lot. I don't always have the most essential words for comfort and hygiene. This little booklet was useful in many places around the world. In Japan it saved my life! Recommend it very highly for all travellers, tourist and business people alike.

The only good one

This is the best of these picture-travel books by far. It actually works, while the rest of them just confuse matters.

Compact and useful

Point It was used in China when we dealt with a Chinese speaking acupuncturist. The diagrams of the human body's internal structure were helpful in explaining where "it hurts" far better than our hand signals.

China's different dialects and intonation can create a problem with pronunciation. If you have a food allergy, don't depend upon your Chinese guide to always be screening the foods for you (mine didn't). My pronunciation of the words for lobster and shrimp didn't work for most of our food servers but showing them the Point It pictures, in most cases, helped.
