The real strength of the present book is the meticulous account it gives of the articulation (and associated acoustics) of individual sounds--and not just of the obvious vowels and consonants, which have been presented a thousand times over, but of the unobvious ones, which many phonetics books never mention at all...This is the first account I have seen which devotes proper attention to the aim and range of that extension. It is an essential broadening of the scope of phonetics. -David Crystal From the Foreword
