This book is an up-to-date lexicon (dictionary) of modest price and scope for the student of biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. Until now, the English-speaking student of Hebrew has had to choose between expensive and complex large-scale lexicons or pocket-size glossaries that make no pretense of keeping abreast of current scholarship. This edition is ideal for the beginning to intermediate student of Biblical Hebrew, offering Hebrew words definitions needed to translate Old Testament passages. Hebrew words are arranged in Hebrew alphabetical order by root form. This lexicon does not use Strongs numbers. This edition is based on the first, second and third editions of Koehler-Baumgartner Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros. Edited by William A. Holladay. Familiarity with Biblical Hebrew necessary.

Holladay's a pretty decent lexicon. The transliterations drive me nuts. I didn't go to all the trouble to learn Hebrew to have transliterations getting in the way. It's easier to read the Hebrew than the transliterations. Other than that, it's a handy little lexicon.
I have it, but I don't use it cuz I purchased Koehler Baumgartner for use with Accordance. No transliterations there. Even before that, I thought the out-of-date big d*mn book, BDB, was better to use because of the absence of the transliterations.
Based on a much larger and more exhaustive lexicon, the concise HALOT contains most every word in the Hebrew OT without long, drawn-out definitions. It is my most valued tool for simply "crashing through" parts of the text and I use it every day.
First, I can really only second the other two reviewers'views on this lexicon. It is as convenient to use as a dictionary, (provided, of course, that you know Hebrew alphabetical order and enough Hebrew to recognize Qal stems of verbs), and quite a bit more informative. The book IS concise, containing just over 400 pages (as against the BDB's 1000+), proper names are listed but not defined, and all instances of every word are not cited. Rather, examples of each sense of the word are usually cited. There are errata listed at the beginning and end of the book. In short, this is very handy, and if you've gone beyond the need for Strong's numbers, and want up to date linguistic information, try this edition!

Holladay: Get it, use it.
This English abridgement of Koehler and Baumgartner's lexicon is perhaps the best reference tool Hebrew students will come across having such usefulness at a reasonable price. Read more
