I have a paperback "The Concise Dictionary of 26 Languages"
which is quite interesting.  It is published by Signet Books
(ISBN 451-Y3368-125), compiled by Peter M. Bergman.

It has a 1000 word vocabulary, each word shown with all 26 translations.
The vocabulary is understandibly limited but covers many common
concepts.  One quickly sees the similarities of the Scandinavian
languages and the Romance languages, etc.
