Linda, thanks for post nag about the Portuguese Abbreviations book. You mentioned that you had a PDF. Can you send me a link so I can download the PDF. I've been trying to find the book online this morning but haven't been able to find it. I hope this is something you can do.
If not then I think the next best thing is order the book from Lisbon.
