.Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 750 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Easy Phrase Books)
City Travel Guides > Books > Languages
by: Dover Publications Inc

1994-09
Nice slim book that does what it says in the title. Cheap, light, easily popped in your suitcase or bag and covers most everyday situations. Its more useful for holidays than anything else and I only really used it a couple of times as I preferred the lonely planet fast talk guide. Although its slim, it is quite 'tall' so you can't pop it in your pocket.

.501 Spanish Verbs (501 Verbs) (6th Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Languages
by: Christopher Kendris

January 11, 2007
Can't recommend this enough, if you can learn the verbs you can master the language. Easy to find verbs in all the tenses, handy little tips and explanations. Wish I'd had this when I did my GCSE, would have made studying easier. It comes with a CD that has drills and tests. If you are learning the language, this is a good start.

."BBC" Spanish Phrase Book and Dictionary (Phrasebook)
City Travel Guides > Books > Languages
by: Carol Stanley, Phillippa Goodrich

March 17, 2005
This is a clear and easy to use phrase book. The way it is laid out (with colour coded pages) makes it extremely easy to find relevant phrases when you really need them, without too much flicking through the pages. It's size makes it perfect to slip into your pocket and the mini dictionary in the back is also extremely useful. Most phrase books tend to be much the same and have the same phrases within, but the size and layout of this one makes it stand out enough from the rest to warrant a closer look. You can usually find it for a great price on amazon as well.

.Eats shoots and leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
City Travel Guides > Books > Languages
by: Lynne Truss

November 06, 2003
This books is far more than its title's amusing amphibology. It's funny, educational and very readable.

I work in software engineering and like many software engineers, I frequent the spelling and grammar checker. I frequent it regularly. In fact, my life would be quite tough without it.

Now in software engineering, there's nothing worse than looking at awful code that doesn't follow anything close to a resemblance of normal engineering standards. It's a surreal feeling that has this offensive nauseousness about it. The frustrations are simply indescribable to anybody who hasn't had the misfortune to work in the industry. Now, we software engineers sometimes think we are alone in experiencing these emotions, as perhaps ... Read More:

by: Jane Wightwick; Mahmoud Gaafar

February 28, 2007
I purchased this book for an Arabic class I was attending and found that it works very well in class, as a useful resource, and at home where I can continue to learn on my own.
I certainly recommend the book and CDs to anyone looking to learn Arabic

.What If?: Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers
City Travel Guides > Books > Languages
by: Anne Bernays, Pamela Painter

November 01, 1991
As a writer and teacher of creative writing I find this a gold mine for starter activities and longer writing exercises. It lets you try out approaches and techniques rather than being a how to guide to creative writing- and most importantly shares with you the results of other writers (both famous and unknown) who have done the exercises.

Every chapter contradicts the last. It seems to be a mess of platitudes, no new ideas and, I'm sorry to say, a waste of time reading.
