3.0 out of 5 stars It didn't have everything, October 3, 2005

By	Sharada A. Strasmore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book But Too Expensive and What the Heck is a Bind-In Card???, August 21, 2007

By	Trouble Fan (USA) - See all my reviews

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.
