HOLMES, RUTH BRADLEY; SMITH, BETTY SHARP. Beginning Cherokee.
University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: . s Softcover. Brand new book.
This book, the first of its kind, teaches the rudiments of Cherokee, which is the native tongue of about 20,000 Americans, although most of those who speak it use it only as a second language. Cherokee has had several recognized dialects in the past. The two main dialects today are the North Carolina, spoken on the Qualla Reservation by about 3,000 persons, and the Oklahoma, or Western, which is a consensus of the different ways of speech among the Cherokees mingled there after their removal from the East in the 1830's. This book uses the Oklahoma dialect. Recent increased interest has created a demand for Amerindian language courses. Many Cherokees who ignored past opportunities to learn the language from their families are now regretting the loss. Parents who once believed that such knowledge would only be a disadvantage to their children have changed their minds. Youths who have now concluded that their ancestors had much to offer are anxious to investigate the language for themselves. Those who do not have time to spare for organized study would often like to have a convenient source book on the Cherokee language and its syllabary. Beginning Cherokee was written to fill these needs. It will help everyone who uses this book, whether Cherokee or not, to understand that Indian tribes are contemporary people with an enduring heritage. The Cherokee language frames an outlook and an intellect that can contribute much to civilization in the future, as it has in the past.

HUMEZ, ALEXANDER & NICHOLAS. A B C Et Cetera: The Life & Times Of The Roman Alphabet.
David R. Godine, Boston: 1985. 087923587X / 9780879235871 First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition but dustjacket is worn.
Written in the same lively, anecdotal, and irreverent style (but always with impeccable scholarship) as its predecessor, A.B.C. Et Cetera covers an abecedarian spectrum of Roman history and society - a wild and woolly range of facts and gancies you may have forgotten or never known. The book is arranged alphabetically; each chapter follows some of the Latin words that begin with a particular letter through their various linguistic peregrinations, taking detours along the way to examine the flora and fuana of Roman, and Romance, culture. The authors will initiate you into arcane mysteries, exploring everything from Vestal Virgins to unicorns to maledicta balloons, those euphemistic bubbles of comic-strip orthography where asterisks stand for the unprintable. They will clarify, at last (lux in tenebris!), the confounding complexities of Roman nomenclature, dating systems, and numbering, they will surprise and amuse you with their unorthodox glosses on Roman religion and festivals, Roman education, humor, slavery, government, politics, warfare, literature, et cetera. A.B.C Et Cetera will fascinate, delight, and enlighten students and teachers, reent converts and confirmed Latin-lovers alike. Includes an Index. "An entertaining linguistic/history lesson..." - Booklist
