I picked this book up at a remainders store about 12 years ago for about $30
and after letting it gather dust for a while I sent it as dead weight* in a
shipment of books to an OldTestament translation consultant in Moscow. He
wasn't impressed with it either, probably dumped it on somebody else.

It isn't really a lexicon, just a list of glosses and the etymological data
didn't appear to be all that comprehensive. If you already have K&B (HALOT)
getting this book will not probably not add anything for work in Biblical
Hebrew.

*Shipping books m-bag from US requires a minimum of 11lbs, I used this book
to put me over the 11lb threshold. It is much cheaper than any other method
of shipping.
