================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hi-
      
Does anyone know the real source for the recent British series The Adventure of
English?  It is being marketed for over $900, and I would rather not ask my
state university to pay that price for 8 DVDs.  The same company is also asking
about $400 for Do You Speak American? which aired on public tv in the US and is
available on DVD on the PBS website for $60.  If you have information, please
send it to me directly: horning at oakland.edu.  

If there is interest, I will post the information to the list.  

Thanks.
