I was lucky enough to find this book at a local "used bookstore" and picked it up not realizing the gem I had in my hands! Since this is an older version (2004) all of the online resources including quizes were available for free without the key codes in the book! I purchased the laboratory manual from Amazon because I wasn't lucky enough to find that at the bookstore. There is a whole audio section in the online resources that works in conjunction with the lab manual. If you are looking to learn the Italian language for more than just basic travel, then this is a great book to use! It is a college level textbook and will help you master Italian at your own pace! Buon lavoro!

Very easy to follow. Makes the most sense out of all the books I've purchased. Travel to Italy often to visit family, but I am not a native speaker. This book helped immensely in conversation.

This book all though it had the bind in card from the publisher did not have the book key for quia.com which was what my professor uses. I bought online because I thought I was getting everything for less but it ended up being the same amount as if I had bought it in the school bookstore because I also had to purchase the quia key. So the moral of the story is that if you need quia just buy it at the bookstore and then you won't have to wait for your book.

The book is interesting and thorough...but it costs way too much. Also, what is a bind-in card? I asked three sellers and even THEY didn't know what that meant. Fortunately the book is usually used for two semesters of Italian, i.e. Italian 101 and 102.
