Martin Marcus's timeless classic is now updated with new definitions for the next millennium and digitized for the electronic reference shelf of the 21st century. The Yiddish for Yankees web site allows you to sample some pages and instantly buy a copy of the book that saved a thousand mixed marriages! The book that supposedly ticked off Leo Rosten (Joys of Yiddish) because it beat him to the punch, and was punchier to boot. The little book with the big following who've looked everywhere for a copy but can't find it (rare book dealers have been asking up to $75 for a copy).

The ebook edition of Yiddish for Yankees is as informative as it is hilarious, with all the zest and bite of the 1968 best selling original edition as well as all of the original cover art and graphics. It even has an ebook advantage over the original, as the author himself pronounces the words and expressions for you--just click on each Yiddish word to hear how they are pronounced. So don't be a shmegehgeh. Shell out the $7.95.
