Nicholas, I did encounter that title sometime ago, but from where I stay, it is almost impossible to get a copy, unless I order online (which is not cost efficient for me). Anyway, how different it is form something like this http://www.ymsite.com/books/Quran_Dictionary/Easy_Dictionary.htm ? I think it is a good introduction, simple. It deos not attemp to use the correct spelling as well. However, it suffers from one problem: trouble with putting marks to Lam Alef. I think htis is due to lack of good font support the comes with MS Windows. None can really support marking lam alef correctly, as far as I know.
