What a disappointment... - Seamus Mckenna - Maha Sarakham, Thailand
After repeatedly trying to order the electronic version of this book on the author's website and having emailed the author at his listed address without a response, I opted for making a purchase of the hard copy on Amazon. This is not an inexpensive item and with shipping included the total cost came to about . Still, I thought it would be a worthwhile book to have.

I could not have been more wrong. What I received was a photocopy, yes a photocopy of what I assume to be the original book and not a good photocopy either. Most of the Thai script is so small it is barely legible and many pages can hardly be opened due to the crude stapling effort. I could not believe what I had received from Amazon as a 'new book'. Someone in the Quality Control department needs to take a look at this and return whatever is in stock to the author, if you can find him, that is.

As for the contents, it's more or less what was advertised, although the addition of a number of not-very-amusing cartoons by the author leaves one wondering why they were included at all. Also, notice how the cover image shows "700 Thai Words..." while the title is "600 Thai Words...". There's something really unprofessional about this whole enterprise.
