In the introduction to my book, It Seems like Only Yesterday I write: "I have at last finished this, my tenth book, and I have to confess that wasn't always an easy task. I don't know why, but it often seemed that the more I wrote, the less I had down on paper. Fortunately, one day upon having finished chapter thirty-three, I was content and knew that I had completed my shortest book."Well, it's no longer my shortest book-this one is, and this one was easier to write because I was content when I'd finished only twenty-three ...

In the introduction to my book, It Seems like Only Yesterday I write: "I have at last finished this, my tenth book, and I have to confess that wasn't always an easy task. I don't know why, but it often seemed that the more I wrote, the less I had down on paper. Fortunately, one day upon having finished chapter thirty-three, I was content and knew that I had completed my shortest book."Well, it's no longer my shortest book-this one is, and this one was easier to write because I was content when I'd finished only twenty-three chapters instead of thirty-three but not entirely so as I later added five more.I'll now say what I always say when I write the introduction to one of the bilingual books in this series: that I wrote it for fun, to save my experiences for posterity, and most importantly to improve my Spanish.It goes without saying that I would also hope that readers (if there are any) will enjoy this, my eleventh book. I gave It Seems like Only Yesterday to two friends and I was glad to learn that both of them had finished the book by the end of the week and that they said they liked the stories. I hope that they (and you) will like the stories in this book as well.En mi libro Parece que fuera ayer escribo: "He terminado por fin este, mi libro n�mero diez y tengo que confesar que de vez en cuando no ha sido tarea f�cil. No s� por qu�, pero muy a menudo me parec�a que cuanto m�s escrib�a menos p�ginas me quedaban. Afortunadamente, un d�a al escribir el cap�tulo treinta y dos, me sent� contento y supe que hab�a terminado mi libro m�s peque�o."Bueno, ya no es mi libro m�s peque�o; este lo es y este libro era m�s f�cil de escribir porque me sent� contento al escribir el cap�tulo veinticuatro en lugar del treinta y tres, pero tal vez no estuviera totalmente contento ya que m�s tarde a�ad� cinco cap�tulos.Dir� lo que siempre digo al escribir la introducci�n de un libro biling�e en espa�ol e ingl�s de esta serie: que lo escrib� para entretenerme, para guardar mis experiencias para la posteridad, y m�s importante para mejorar mi espa�ol.Se da por sentado que tambi�n espero que a los lectores (si hay lectores) les guste este, mi libr� n�mero once. Regal� Parece que fuera ayer a dos amigos y me alegr� al enterarme de que a la semana siguiente los dos ya lo hab�an le�do y al o�r que les gustaban las historias. Espero que a ellos (y a usted) tambi�n les gusten las historias de este libro.
