Jiri Lindovsky,


(1) Pardon me for not using a title with your last name, but I did not

know whether "Jiri" is a male or female first name.

(2) I am replying because you did ask for "any reply."

(3) Hopefully, someone who has read the book will soon reply.

(4) I have not read the book, but -- of course -- I remember

that Professor Hayakawa became a United States senator from

my home state of California.

(5) I checked out the link, and I would suggest that you buy it.

It seems to be a very useful aid in better understanding words.

For example, if it helps you to better understand the difference

between imply/infer, nauseated/nauseous, persuade/convince,

bored/boring, etc., it will be well worth the money -- in my

opinion.

P.S. And the reviews were very positive!!!
