Summary: Wonderful translation of Lexical acquisition theories!
Review: This book takes all the the theoretical jargon and explains what it's like to really build lexicons, what issues surround the building of lexicons and advises you what questions you need to ask yourself before starting a lexicon acquisition project.

This book is for the technician delegated the task of actually taking the thoeries and putting them into practice. It is a good translation of how to make the theories work in practical application.

It covers many aspects of the process and uses non-mathematical language to convey the information.

This book was invaluable in my research to begin a Lexicon Acquisition project. I know I'm off to the right start now!
