You are welcome Stephen!  I am a professional translator and interpreter.  I came from Vietnam since 1970 and lived in Masachusetts for 33 years before moving to San Diego last month. I think, the Vietnamese language is difficult for you as the English for me. So, feel free to ask if you need help.
 
Best regards,
 
Anh

Thank you for the help, Anh. I guess then, that these two books must be 
essentially the same but marketed to different audiences.

Steve
