Ho scritto "new english through at comic strips" su google e mi ha dato
zero risultati (ho trovato solo il tuo post). Sicura del titolo? Non ho
trovato altro. Ho anche cercato "new english" "comic strips", ma niente di
concreto.
Provando a contattare la scuola media dove sei andata?

 non so + che fine abbia fatto..
Sei incaricato ufficialmente di *trovare* quel libro!
P.S. Devo comprarlo anch'io perché, a questo punto, posso solo pensare che
la Divina Commedia non regga il confronto.

There is, in fact, something wrong with the title; it doesn't make sense in
English.
I suspect it's no longer published; you might try searching through
purveyors of out-of-print books (
alibris.com
 comes to mind, although I
don't know how much luck you'll have looking for a foreign book.) Try
Googling the Italian for "out-of-print" and see what comes up.
When I was first learning Italian in the 17th century (so it seems) I found
a book called "Italian Through Pictures"; a series of cartoons that helped
me learn basic phrases. It's also out of print, and I can't find a copy
anywhere. I know what you're going through! Good luck.

 English.
Everybody has noted that. Look for like messages from her in the last few
months (years?). Could it be "New <<English Through>> at comic strips",
where "English Through" is a book previously published? But what about "at
comic strips"? Is that grammatical?

No, it's not. I would guess it's "New English Through Comic Strips." The
"at" doesn't fit in anywhere that I can see.

Heck, you couldn't have tried a closer book store? That one's all the way

 down on 12th Street! :)
I know, but it's the only Manhattan bookstore with a *huge* amount of used
books I could think of. Damn, I shouln't end a sentence with a preposition.
Let me rephrase.
"I know, but it's the only Manhattan bookstore with a *huge* amount of used

I bought my Webster collegiate there. :)
Don't you have a spare token and the guts to take the subway? No, wait,
"metro card", no tokens anymore, dammit. ;)

Amy : Where's the pilot?

Amy : You knocked him out.
Murdock : Let's not get technical. 

 "metro card", no tokens anymore, dammit. ;)
I take the old number 6 all the time. Despite the fact that it's the only
east-side subway, meaning it's always crowded to the max, it consistently
gets the highest rating for performance.
I laughed when I saw the word "token" especially in conjunction with
"Webster Collegiate" because it won't be long before the only place tokens
will appear in NYC will be in dictionaries.
BTW, there is much talk about a Second Avenue subway (I know it's been
going on for years, but now it's becoming a reality) which should improve
the east-side up/downtown commute. Let's see, they estimate it will be
completed around 2024... by then I'll have Senior Discount Metrocard!

Mio fratello ha conservato il suo "English through comic strips" delle
medie, e se ti interessa qualche informazione su quel testo posso farmela
dare, ma temo che non abbia intenzione di disfarsi del libro.

20 years to have a new subway trunk?
That looks *italian*.

Milan is what, two kilometers wide? Three?
Manhattan is 23 Km long.

Dr. Cox : Noooo, Bobbo, you got there by backstabbing and ass-kissing.
Dr. Kelso : Maybe so, but I started those things properly at eight! 

 20 years to have a new subway trunk?
Yes, and that's with some of the tunnel already dug. Still there's much
more to go; if you look at a map of Manhattan, that subway will go from the
top to the bottom (or nearly) of the city. It's about 20 kilometers'
distance. (Please note the lovely neighborhood of Murray Hill, about 2/3
way down on the east side. It's where I live.)

 Milan is what, two kilometers wide? Three?
joking?
Milan is about 20km or even more. Of course I'm just talking about the map
and not only about the area really covered by the new railroad.
I feel you never had to cross Milan by car in a working day, had you? ;)

 distance. 
1 km/year is about 4 m/day.
Ma un conto è scavare una galleria in montagna, con due 
soli fronti di scavo, mentre in città si possono aprire 
molti fronti simultanei.
A Londra quanto ci hanno messo per scavare 20 km di 
"underground"?


 1 km/year is about 4 m/day.
Yes, but it's not just the excavation, but all the building: the tracks,
the tunnel interior, the stations, platforms, the exits; also, a lot of
private property will be disturbed, because there isn't an inch of ground
that hasn't been built upon. Excavation will be under some very tall
buildings and busy roadways.
I think that even if the tunnel were already excavated the entire length,
it could still take 20 years; but that's also where the bureaucracy comes
in.


 I feel you never had to cross Milan by car in a working day, had you? ;)
I think you have two choices:
"I feel you've never had to cross Milan by car in a working day, have you?"
or
"I feel you never had to cross Milan by car in a working day, did you?".
I hope I've not written nonsense.

I used the subway. :)
Anyway, Manhattan is 23Kms long, but it's 3Kms wide at its widest. :)
It ain't that big. But it's high! 
Well, some say that NY is composed by five boroughs, so - at the end - it's
way bigger. But the subway we were talking about is in only in Manhattan, I
guess.

Nah. I'm 4 good-sized blocks away from Second Avenue, so I'm safe here.


 guess.
Correct. New York City comprises five boroughs: Manhattan, The Bronx,
Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, but the subway referred to is the
Second Avenue subway in Manhattan.

I lived there 10 years. In that map the yellow part is too small,
definitely.
There're areas in which the town reaches the motorway (the Orbit? :))

 Second Avenue subway in Manhattan.
That's a matter of opinion. I'd say that Manhattan is NYC and the other
five boroughs are BAT City. :P
