It is small (5" x 7", about 300 pages, hardback) but contains both Irish-English and English-Irish and should be helpful to beginners. I obtained mine several years ago from: S. F. Book Imports, P. O. Box 526, San Francisco, CA 94101. I don't remember what it cost but it was certainly less than $35. Check BOOKS IN PRINT or a local bookstore to see if it's still available. -John John Singleton singleto@unc decvax!mcnc!unc!singleto -- -John John Singleton singleto@unc decvax!mcnc!unc!singleto
