Michele Berdy's new book on Russian words and idioms

[Robert Chandler]

I second everything Lynn says.  Michele writes about complex matters with
extraordinary grace, subtlety and lightness.  Her columns are both
entertaining and hugely informative.  I am really happy that this is at last
available and I'm sure I'll be consulting it almost daily.

Vsego samogo dobrogo - and thanks to Natasha Perova and GLAS for bringing
this out!

> of difficulties in Russian for English speakers, and dozens of idioms.  The
> book is organized by themes with mini-intros and a  detailed index. Many of
> us have been reading these columns for years, and it will be great for
> teachers and students to finally have them all in one place.  It's available
> on Amazon. (PS -  I have no vested or commercial interest whatever in this
> book - just think that it will be invaluable for everyone!)
