I have read about half (so far) of Mr. Paxton's 83 edition of this text (NTC Publishing Group). I plan to buy it as a reference to use in trying to learn Deutsch. Good coverage of the grammar rules. Well organized and easy to read. Some pronounciation information would improve it. Also, maybe a bigger glossary. Use with Berlitz and a dictionary.

This book is strictly not recommended if you don't have much experience of the language. I mean you would much rather want to know how to say your name in German than start off with 'I have two apartments and two wives!' But yes, the book is nicely organized. If you have some experience of the language and can pronounce it fairly well, then you can think of buying it . If you DO want to learn German and learn it well, then I recommend 'A complete course in understanding, speaking and writing German' by Paul Coggle and Heiner Schenke.

Would someone who actually bought this book please review it.. I would like to buy it. but I would like to hear about it first.. thanks

It's hard for me to write this review considering the fact that I have never even held the book. I just wanted the oppertunity to be the first one to write a review for it. At least the cover is nice to look at.
