invaluable starter

2006-11-10
Mr.Robinson has addressed many issues a beginning translator needs to know.He offers excellent advice and resources.He also explores related issues such as ethical issues.Some chapters I feel are superfluous thus preventing it from receiving a five-star rating.This is a much needed book for starting a career as a translator.Too many books are about the process of translation and not on the process of the business of translation.
