Defect in the 3rd edition/6th impression (2024年1月10日発行第3版第6刷) printed on the 10th January 2024

Dear Conversations in Class Third Edition users,

We have just been made aware that the printing company we used to reprint CiC3 has made a mistake; they printed some books with one blank page missing at the beginning, which threw the order of the remaining pages askew. Pages which are supposed to be on the right are on the left, and vice-versa. The textbook is still usable, as pages do have the correct numbering and are in the right order. It’s just confusing to see a page which is supposed to be on the right being on the left side.

We unfortunately have no reliable way to know which school got which version, and no viable way to correct a situation that involves students, teachers, our distributor, and the university coops/bookstores, with the first semester already well underway. So, we are hoping that it will be possible to manage this year with the textbooks that have already been distributed to students. If that proves to be too trying in your situation, please let me know, and we will try to find a solution.

We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or requests regarding this matter, we’d be happy to hear from you.

Best regards,
Bruno Vannieu
