His tablet had put price not prize. I knew that was an auto type problem because mine did the same thing when I originally posted.

So if he would please clarify what types of books, he wants to find it would help.
So it wasn't about his English but his saying we should understand what he meant.
I saw nothing making fun of Tompe's English. Clearly the implication that we should somehow understand what he means speaks for itself. Criticising this is nothing to do with his English. And we all understand "price" instead of "prize" was a typo or automatic correction. I did choose to have a little fun with this, but it is not about his English.

Personally I am part of that vast number of mono-lingual English speakers, and I am not proud of it. I applaud the efforts of our members not fluent in English.
