ISBN #0-448-08920-3 Comments: I haven?t read this book so I am not sure if it is in good or excellent condition. I spell checked it and found many slang and variant spelling words. I tried to catch all the words that have exclamation marks on the end of them. However, I might have skipped a few. Look out for words that end with an extra letter or symbol. These words should often either have an exclamation point or quotations marks at the end of them. Also, I might have missed a few words that had ? and ??. Most of the time, these words should only end with " and not ?". Some of pages might have missing words on them that need to be filled in. Since I did not read this book, I am not sure how rampant this problem is. If you have any problems, please don?t reject the book. Instead, please contact me at barbarab65@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The reason why I gave the book an excellent rating is because I don?t expect you to find any mistakes but I am not sure about this since I haven?t read the book. Finally, notice that the author and copyright holder are different. Barbara
