John,
sorry to bother you with questions, but I went looking for this book and I found myself spoiled for choice. Would you mind adding a amazon.co.uk link to your blog entry pointing to what you recognize to be the correct book?

I totally agree with you about the usefulness of this book. I studied it at FSU and I brought it with me to China and review it off and on, and I was always impressed at how essential the vocabulary approved to be. On the other hand, living in northern China as I do, I wished the book had emphasized northern pronounciation more, since the northern use of the “r” final sound threw me off a lot when I first came here.
