Critic Reviews
I dare to predict that this book will be a best-seller and I wish I had thought of it myself. ... congratulations to the authors and publishers for being first in the field with a project of this kind. (Andrew Chesterman, Target) If I had to sum the book in a single word it is the adjective ... scrupulous. (W. Sim, Language Today)
