LEARNING ITALIAN   

 

Easy Italian Crossword Puzzles by Nancy P. and Richard Goldhagen. Passport Books, 1994. Beginning students of Italian and those who simply want to brush up on their Italian vocabulary will find these puzzles an entertaining way to learn. Each of the 31 crossword puzzles is built around a theme -- weather, the house, modes of transportation, furniture, parts of the body, and more. Some puzzles will help you absorb cultural information about Italy. Puzzles are arranged in order of difficulty into three sections. In the first are easier puzzles with clues in English and answers in Italian. In the next level the clues are in Italian and the answers in English. In the final section both clues and answers are in Italian. The answers to all puzzles are in the back of the book. 38 pages. BTH-1978. $4.46-D

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 You can fax your purchase orders to 805-237-8639, but it's good to follow up with a phone call in a couple of days to make sure we got it, if you did not receive a delivery confirmation email. Please include an email address with your purchase order in case we have questions and so we can send your delivery confirmation number to you.  You can also attach a signed purchase order to an email.

 We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
