ELL: Foclóir nua EGT (EGT's new dictionary)

[Doug Marmion]

Hi Marion,

A late response to your posting re the dictionary of Cornish as I am
currently in Papua New Guinea and only have access to email when in the
local town (Vanimo, in Sandaun Province).

I am very interested in buying a copy of the new Cornish dictionary, can I
do it using a credit card? Could you please advise me what the cost would
be, including mail (by cheapest method, surface I suppose?) to Australia?
If it can't be done via credit card, what method can I use to buy it? I
thought I'd ask this question on the list (as well as sending it direct to
you) as I'm sure there are others who would like to purchase it by credit
card.

I have worked on several dictionaries, none of which have yet gotten past
various levels  of draft, so I have some inkling of how much work it takes.
So, congratulations on getting this dictionary out, I hope it sells well.

Cheers,
Doug Marmion
