I brought this book with me to live in Bulgaria for two years and it was extremely helpful many times. After learning to speak Bulgarian, I realized that a few phrases are a little too formal, but then again, most phrasebooks do make that mistake. Because Bulgarians are such friendly and hospitable people (except the customer service people at bus and train stations where you will need this book most outside of restaurants), they generally will appreciate the effort you are making to communicate. A helpful hint is to master reading Cyrillic before you go over there : )
Indispensable!

I used this book on three trips to Bulgaria and found it an invaluable asset. The first few pages give you the bare bones information needed to get by in almost every common situation. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on shopping, eating out, traveling in country, etc. Plus--it fits into your pocket! The best travel money I ever spent.
