Hi Sarah,

I had never heard of those before. As far as I knew, Gordon was THE
only book on the subject. It was the only one I could find on Amazon
or Half.com, but furthermore, it's what my teacher wanted me to have.
The lessons on the site are extremely useful.

Are there any places in the US from which I can buy Barnes' books? I
found them at the Viking Society webpage and at amazon.co.uk, but the
shipping prices would be a lot. I can get the reader and grammar book
for about $20 US though.. maybe I should do it and pay the shipping.

Thanks for the information,

-Ryan
