No problem, I can easily wait. I think Teng Kee has provided some very
useful information in the search for these books. Perhaps you (again
no hurry) or one of your friends could try to get in touch with Wat
Tamao to find out how those of us from outside the country and who
don't speak Thai can buy the grammar books they may have for sale. It
would be nice to have a photocopy of their Nyasa but that may be
asking too much. I'm aware of three other possible editions of the
Nyaasa coming down the pipeline so there's a good chance I'll be
getting one or more sooner or later. Once I get a copy in my hand I'll
be quoting portions of it to this group for study right away.
Thanks for your offer of helping me to find the books,
Jim
