Culture Shock! Finland: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock! Guides) Redundancies galore! – Snowy Owl – Atlanta, Georgia USA
Where was the editor on this? The author repeats herself all over the place, even from one page to the next, and there are other editorial shortcomings (pg. 75: “Poland and East Germany are contributing…”; hmmm, East Germany hasn’t existed since long before this book was supposedly first published, which makes me think that the 2008 edition is a regurgitated 2001 edition, with even that being dated; pg. 86: “spend together” vs. “spend time together,” etc.) These are just a few of many such examples that take away from the content, which is overall quite good.
