About this deal
Archival, acid-free 100% cotton paper. They are lost until they develop an intimate connection. From hilarious street signs to dreadful translations to an assortment of wonderful unintentional wordplay, this book will make you laugh out loud . But her perspective also made her a keen observer of an America in the flux of change. Lost in Translation is 140 wacky, weird and wonderful snapshots of the English language being abused abroad and at home.

Just received this in the post its a present for my boyfriend a 'lockdown'I miss you present. Arrived really quickly and in perfect condition. I thought it was a bad sign to give to my husband and will return the book back. The illustrations are lovely - a great gift idea.

However being Russian myself I was upset to find that in THIS edition the only Russian word was meaning to stop loving! Great shame, because I think otherwise the book is brilliant! I wanted to give this book to my husband as a Xmas present because he is fascinated by different languages and I liked the Russian word "pochemuchka" used in the previous edition. We both have a small ilistrated guide to the universe by Ella to.

I just love this little book - purchased another after being given one as a gift. The way she writes and produces such gorgeous works of art is unbelievable.

Im sure my boyfriend will love it. Some of the extracts are quite moving and really does give you something to think about.
