Don't buy the Kindle edition!!!,
By Natalia (Sćo José dos Campos, Brazil) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: English for Specific Purposes (Cambridge Language Teaching Library) (Kindle Edition)
Though written in 1987, this book remains relevant for the ESP teacher and/or material designer. The Kindle edition, however, doesn't do the trick. The book has many figures and sample materials which are essential for the comprehension of the text. And it seems that all Amazon did was scan them. We can zoom in, and they'll still be blurred or too small. So if you're interested in ESP, do read this book, just not the Kindle edition.
