Eighty bucks!

Hey!  This is one half of the K/C collaboration that produced the  
Foundation Course.  I can't believe that it costs $80 to reproduce  
and ship our two notebooks. Have you been in touch with Fritz Schwaller?

As for the paperback Nahuatl dictionary I compiled that goes with the  
Foundation Course, it's available from Amazon for about $32.50. It's  
$35 from the publisher, the U. of Oklahoma Press.  (When it first  
came out in paperback, the price was under $20, as I recall, but in  
the publishing world, as elsewhere, everything creeps.)


I'm going to stick to the
1882 Carochi until I've got enough money to buy either the K&C or the
updated Carochi.

Do not rely on the 1882 reprinting of Carochi.  There are bunches of  
introduced errors.  I spent months and months many years ago rooting  
them out.  There are way too many, and they are seriously misleading,  
which is why I used the 1645 original as a source when compiling the  
Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl.
