[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some parts of this book are obsolete (written in 1994) as the internet now exists but it does a good job of describing the differences between dialects in the United Kingdom through the use of diagrams.

[Gwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A rather easy book which seems more suitable for people with less linguistic background. Still an interesting (and rather quick) read.
