Because I am in association with Amazon.com,* you can click on any titles you see on this page to look at and order at greatly discounted prices. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to recommend personal favorite books--at no cost to me and no cost to you--and link them with Amazon Books*, making them directly available at discounts from 20% - 40%, for example--wow what a bargain--The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English in hardcover is only $30.00 here, but it's $44.00 if you buy it in a store (if you can even find one!) and postage costs are low, especially if you buy more than one book at a time. It costs $3.00 for packing (each shipment) and $0.95 for each book, and they're delivered quickly. Most books are sent out in 2-3 days.How to order

(to order, just click on the book title and follow the ordering instructions ["add to shopping cart"]. If you order more than one book from this page, please use your browser's BACK button to return here after adding a book to your shopping cart and click on the next book here: you can add as many as you like, and the bookstore will keep track of them. If you find you've chosen more than your budget allows, you can easily remove books before you go to the checkout counter. Remember, the cost is the same from here: I get a referral fee from the big store for listing books in my specialty shop. It helps keep the page going. Thanks.
