"'Point it' manages to be both useful and diverting. Crammed with photographs of everything you might ever wish to point at in an effort to make yourself understood in a foreign country, it is also very small and light, ideal for that already overweight rucksack you are taking on your travels.
The book also makes interesting 'eye candy' and you could while away many hours on that cross-country train wondering in what situation you might need to simultaneously point at a sweet potato, a hypodermic and a large tree. "

Recommended by Charles F.:

".... a book that is filled with photographs that can be pointed at where you don't know the word for the object. ... It's pocket sized at around 6" x 3" and only a couple of mm thick."
