What a great discovery! This book is the perfect idiom program for my students. I would love to see a new edition, and I would buy it for all my students. A suggestion: The new edition could include a variety of accents to give the dialogues a more international flavor. Right now, all the voices are American. This is fine, but most of my students are Europeans.

It teaches hundreds of idioms in their everyday contexts.

This is the most sophisticated idiom text I've seen in my 7 years teaching ESL. Ideal for the intermediate to advanced student, It includes the most-used phrasal verbs as well as expressions. The excercises are well designed matching, cloze, and conversation/role plays. What a pity if it's not re-published soon!

I want the book would be reprinted as soon as possible.

Against All Odds : Speaking Naturally With Idioms by Eichler: I am sure the book would be very helpful for foreigners to want to practise English. Please let foreigners buy it.
