This review is from: Colloquial Albanian (Colloquial Series) (Audio CD)
While this may in fact be an excellent resource, be advised that despite "complete course" in the title, and "384" pages in the product description, this is only the c.d. You still have to buy the book seperately (something I might have realized if I had taken notice of the specified dimensions and shipping weight in the product description). Therefore order a la carte and pay approx. $58 for book and cd, or order the "package edition" w/ audio cassetes for $56.95-current availability of the "package edition is 1-2 months-the cd arrived in less than a week and the "book only" is listed as being available to ship w/in 24 hours.
