# One chemistry title for booksellers and distributors. For booksellers and distributors For booksellers and distributors: The Language of Chemistry, Playbook® is one title for Classes 7 to 10 under ICSE, CBSE and SSLC, written by a Kochi chemistry teacher and published by Playway Books. It is a consumable workbook, sold one copy per student. Terms are quoted on request. ## The book, in figures - 112 Pages - 2 Charts - 6 Activities - 19 Exercises - 279 Questions - 2 Token sheets What is in the box ## A Playbook is not a book. It contains a game. A hand holds up the red element sheet, roughly half its circular tokens already punched out, over a coffee table scattered with the loose tokens that fell free. ### 2 punch-out token sheets Thirty elements, twenty-five radicals and the valencies that join them, printed and die-cut so a student pushes them out and puts them on a table. The word on each token is the code, and the colour repeats it — an element, a radical, a valency. A radical carries an inner ring as well, so the three types stay apart on a photocopy and for a reader who cannot separate the red from the green. - Na - 1 - Cl The three types are told apart by what they carry and how they are drawn, not by colour — a radical carries a ring, a valency is smaller and set in figures. - The Language of Chemistry cover, laid flat on a wood table. ### 112 pages The method, the charts, the activities and the exercises — in the order a student works through them. - A student’s hand mid-exercise, pencil in hand, ticking symbols on the Activity I page. ### 19 exercises, 279 questions Across 6 activities and 2 charts. Enough repetition for the notation to become automatic, which is the entire point of drilling a language. - Two worked chemical-formula examples, each with its answer printed at the foot of the page — mercuric sulphide, then cupric sulphate. ### All answers enclosed The book marks itself. A parent who never studied chemistry can still check the work, and nothing is held back for a separate guide. - The scoring bands printed on the book’s back cover — 184 of 184 down to the 172-mark repeat gate — the same numbers the internal Evaluation Chart uses. ### Evaluation chart Scores are read against a chart, because the chapter gate is a number and not an opinion. ## What does a bookseller need to know? The published price is ₹399; each retailer sets its own. The Playbook is consumable: the tokens are punched out, the Exercises are written in and the score goes on the evaluation chart, so a shop sells one copy to each student. Terms for a shop are quoted on request. If you stock it and would like to be on the[list of shops](/where-to-buy/#stockists), tell the Kochi office. ## What does a distributor need to know? A distributor supplying shops, schools or centres is quoted on request. This site publishes no trade price, discount, margin or minimum order, and none is implied. ## What may a stockist say about the book? A shop or a distributor may say it stocks the book and name it correctly. It may not use the Playway name or marks as its own — in a shop name, a domain or as an advertising keyword. The CISCE letter of 18 December 2002 and the NCERT comments of 1 July 2008 are not accreditation and not approval of any book as a prescribed text, and no one, a stockist or a distributor included, may present them as either. The[trade marks page](/legal/trademarks/) sets this out in full. ## What if you find a scan or a counterfeit copy? Scans of the book turn up on file-sharing sites and in messaging groups, and counterfeit printings on marketplaces. A publisher this size finds out from readers or not at all. Write to[learn@playwaybooks.com](mailto:learn@playwaybooks.com) with a link or a screenshot, or use the[grievance page](/legal/grievances/). ## Which shops carry it now? - H&C Books · Ernakulam The list is short and it is growing. A customer who wants a single copy, from a shop or online, can[find a retailer or a stockist](/where-to-buy/). Questions ## What the trade asks before it orders.
