Editorial Reviews

Not a dictionary, but about 50 sample documents that can be used as templates for people or companies that want either to open their business up to the Welsh language, or to expand their Welsh into the business world. On facing pages of English and Welsh, they include enquiries about products and services, a quote or estimate, a nasty letter about an overdue account, insurance documents, complaints, an enquire about regulations for purchasing overseas property, and a fax reporting the availability of a particular property. No scholarly paraphernalia except for a short introduction. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
