About this product
Product Information
Dr Don Watson - with his trademark wit and wisdom - says enough already! The English language is complex and evolving, and can win minds, hearts and nations. Why don't we try using it? Dr Don Watson - with his trademark wit and wisdom - says enough already! The English language is complex and evolving, and can win minds, hearts and nations. Why don't we try using it? Depending where you are on the change continuum, a quick pulse check will be in order and a scan of the forthcoming weather events before you move forward with your shark mitigation strategies. Were any animals were harmed in the above statement? The level of customer-centric vigilance remains below acceptable benchmarks and weasel words continue to fill our mailboxes, inboxes, ears and minds. Don Watson will make you cringe with recognition, and perhaps shame, and encourage you to rise up against this language that is obliterating all song, meaning and beauty from communication.

- c***s (45)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAmazingly careful and considered packaging of this and another book purchased at the same time. Excellent value for money and perfectly 'as described' in excellent condition and mint appearance. This book comes from a quality series that I recommend. The postage charge was reasonable and delivery was quicker than expected/predicted. I have purchased before from this seller and can HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you.
- a***m (68)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSecond hand book arrived well packaged and in good condition (as advertised). It was posted two days after I purchased it but took another 7 days to arrive from Western Australia to the eastern Australian coast by (free) Standard Parcel Delivery - not a problem for me but a reminder that transcontinental postage is slow.
- e***e (867)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseVery pleased with this purchase of Ghost of the Alkimos by Jack Wong Sue. The book is rare and hard to find in the U.S., so I was thrilled to locate a copy. Seller packed it with care, and it arrived safely all the way from Australia to Phoenix, Arizona. The Australian Postal Service was excellent—efficient, reliable, and even sent tracking notifications. No issues, delays, or drama of any kind. Great experience overall. This book is a valued addition to my collection—thank you!
