Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Anna Herbst, Daniel Löfström

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

MacMillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners Assuming the ISBN is correct, your book should be this dictionary - offered for sale in two versions, hardcover and paperback, with accompanying CD - or, as some sellers say "hardcover and softcover" - so I dare say you could go for either one!

@ Agneta Except that I also have pbk for paperback.

I suspect that it is more like a folder type book and I saw an alternative for 'paperback' which is "soft cover" which I'll have to use here.
I think paperback for hâfte may be a misstranslation on a couple of sites as this is more " a novel but not in hardback' for English speakers.
Häfte here is perhaps more manual with soft cover?

Paperback In other words - a paperback book.
