Description

Find out what the gaeilgeoir means when he/she uses the Irish words for 'nerdy', 'well-hung', 'effing and blinding', 'slimeball' or 'drop-dead-gorgeous'? It's all there, with numerous entries under the letters C and F. Already a cult hit, Kiss My... will appeal to the Irish-language student and the open-minded traveller alike.



About the Author
Garry Bannister set up the first Department of Modern Irish at Moscow State University in the late 1970s, where he also lectured while completing his PhD. He is the author of Essential Irish, Focloir an Fhoghlaimeora, Teasaras na Gaeilge among many others. More recently, his work includes the perennially popular Proverbs in Irish and the first comprehensive translation of Zen koans in English and Irish, A Path Home - Conair Siar, both published by New Island.

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
