A long-needed and excellent resource, May 18 2005
By Seumas Macdonald - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Latin Key Words: The Basic 2, 000-word Vocabulary Arranged by Frequency in a Hundred Units, with Comprehensive Latin and English Indexes (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. Long troubled in how to expand my Latin vocabulary, and exposed to frequency based lists in Biblical Greek and Hebrew, I was delighted to find this volume. It goes a long way to aiding the Latin student in expanding their vocabulary.There are a few problems with this book. A few of the glosses are just a little too basic, particularly on words with several distinct meanings. There are also a number of typographical errors in the book, and genitive endings are not given for words.
Overall though, an excellent book.

Caveat Emptor- No Genitive Endings, April 4 2007
By J. Cai - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Latin Key Words: The Basic 2, 000-word Vocabulary Arranged by Frequency in a Hundred Units, with Comprehensive Latin and English Indexes (Paperback)
As the others have said, the book does not give genitive/gender endings. I don't see how one can learn a word without knowing its declension/gender. Every time you learn a word you will have to look it up in a dictionary to find the gender and declension. Other typos and errors can be found as well. Caveat Emptor!

A Good List, Nov 13 2006
By J. G. Moore - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Latin Key Words: The Basic 2, 000-word Vocabulary Arranged by Frequency in a Hundred Units, with Comprehensive Latin and English Indexes (Paperback)
This book provides a list of the most common two thousand words in Classical Latin. As such, it is a most welcome addition to the corpus of Latin learning materials. I am presently making a set of flashcards using Dr Toner's list. I have found that the book's format could be improved. For example, the entry for 'pax' reads:pax f. peace
The following format might be more useful to the learner:
pax
pax, pacis (3f.) peace
Listmania!
