The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language

It was a very good transaction. The book is great and I've got it very quickly. So thank you very much!! :-)

great book for any interested in the origin of the English language

Purchased this book for a Senior English class. It's the only book I did not sell back that semester. This is an in-depth look at the origins of the English Language. As well as having a great text, it's also a beautiful book, full of maps colored graphics relating to the text on the page. Would recommend to any P.O.E.M. member. :)

Not quite as expected.

When I selected this book, I was under the impression that the book was in very good condition. When it arrived, I was disappointed by the condition. The cover was torn and tattered. There is obvious water damage along the base of the book. Although, the book is dry, smells fine, and perfectly readable, this is not the condition I would have spent $20 on. I would have at best rated this book in acceptable or good condition.

Excellent book, but even superior service from Amazon

I'm writing this review mainly because I couldn't find any other place where I could put my comments about the excellent service they offer at Amazon.
The Cambridge Encyclopedia is a magnificent work, and I'm very glad to finally have it; but it wouldn't have been so good if it hadn't been for the fast, neat, and professional service given at Amazon.
I live in Chile, South America, and my delivery date was due to August 20th. Despite the distance, my book arrived last Saturday, August 9th, in perfect condition, in a safe box with no flaws.
Thank you Amazon for providing the best service ever in international delivery. I completely trust them, and I certainly recommend it for anyone who'd like to purchase items internationally.
Keep on the excellent work! Thank you very much!!

Excellent work. Very useful.

This book proved to be of very good quality. It is very detailed and very up-to-date. I strongly recommend it to every one who is interested in the theme of english language.
