Title: A very poorly produced book!
Product review: This is arguably the most sloppily produced book I ever read:The number of misspelled Yiddish words is enormous; the most frequenly recurring one is zid in place of zikh, or stub for shtub, cheyli for kheylik (or cheylik), toches-lecher for toches-lecker, etc. The gender of words is often wrong (di for der or vice versa).The etymology of words is often inaccurate. The most blatant example:Bobe-mayse is not derived from a story your grandmother told you, and you are free to use the word in her presence. It comes from a 16-th century translation into Yiddish by Elja Levita of the Italian romance "Bovo d'Antona" published under the name of "Bobe-bukh".I am tempted to send the book back to Amazon for a $ 10 refund, even if I have to pay for return shipmen!
