Another gem from the shelves.

Another book I can see from here is the "International Medical Word Book." Presumably, this a book that can tell you how to say, for example, "do you need any refills today" in 300 languages. However, I am a bit suspicious of any vocabulary taught by the book who didn't think to use the word "dictionary" in its title.

    Also, it's obviously a book--does it need to have the word "book" in its title?

    Perhaps to avoid any confusion with a novella, tome, manuscript, or manifesto.

    "Phrase Book" would have been a more useful title.
