Denny Jones, an English teacher in Cambodia, contacted us to see if we knew of any good places for inexpensive textbooks.
I can’t think of a better group of people who may be able to benefit from assisting Denny than the BSOB readers
This is what Denny is looking for:
I am an English instructor and librarian for a Hospitality school in Cambodia. We are in need of up-to-date reference and teaching materials. Could you please investigate whether you can assist my school in securing the following publications? And if so, the possible costs involved in shipping to Cambodia.
The following is a partial list of English language books and teaching materials I believe may be useful for our school and library.
Please note that I have tried to include the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) for each title to better facilitate any searches you may wish to conduct to find a suitable price and supplier.
I will be happy to offer additional requests upon your suggestion.
Sincerely,
Denny Jones
