<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14pt'>Thank you, Phil! And seeing it here first is most appropriate. That it be so let me tell you: the Introduction begins with a poem by our Richard Zane Smith, that I first read on this list and that Richard (thank you!) allowed us to use, making us the first publisher thereof; the Jaqi languages figure largely throughout the book; there are many other citations of other languages — the thread being that speakers of Englsih have a great deal to learn from speakers of other languages, including many that are now threatened.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you all on this excellent list. And may this book, now finally ‘out there’, be of value to readers. It is probably my last book. The first one I wrote by hand and then had to buy a manual typewriter (it cost $50!! in a period in which I was earning $1800 a year) to hand it in. And my last is a e-book. Quite an arc of living; it has been a wild ride. May some of this experience that we have put into this book open doors to others. Again, thank you to this list.<BR>
