Since Marina is a teacher, her book is bound to be an inspiration to many of us as she has been an inspiration for creating her wonderful videos. I'm looking forward to it.

I've always thought the best books were the ones that taught you how to be a better person. Still, there's room in my bookshelves for a book to entertain me with the derivations of words! :cool: seesixcm6 Dear Marina, Good luck with your book!
