Instructional book

Very challenging book for non-Americans, although I bet some natives will find some pages difficult to grasp, too! This book helps you a lot to understand native Americans. It stands out from other books on the same subject. Remarkable!

Every American needs one!

Look through it, and you won't be able to put it down -- especially if you like to have your mind teased a bit, or simply love this country. With our society in need of healthy conversation, this could be the tool to do it! It's full of all the one-liners, refrains, and catch phrases that separates American English from everything else. It sits on my coffee table, and EVERYONE who comes over loves it. Our language is wonderfully rich and packed with flavor, and this book was obviously written to prove it.
