Why this book over generic phrasebooks?
Most Czech phrasebooks were written by academics who never had to order a beer at a village pub outside Plzeň. This one was written for the moment you're standing on Charles Bridge at dawn, trying to say Dobrý den to a shopkeeper without butchering it. It's practical, warm, and honest about what you actually need — including how to survive the infamous ř sound.

Sound like a local. Not a textbook.
