Spanish textbook

I certainly sympathize with students, especially full-time students, about the cost of their textbooks. For the Spanish class that Carolyn and I are taking, we had to pay $60 each for our texts which is almost exactly what we paid for in tuition. And because they are write-in work books we won't be turning them in at the end of the semester for whatever paltry sum the bookstore buys them back.

On the other hand, I am amazed at what constitutes a decent textbook nowadays. This one came with the working textbook as I mentioned and also an answer key to the end of unit notebook exercises. There were two CD's. one with videos for each of the lessons and a second with audio files of between 8 and 12 exercises and pronunciation practices. And, if all that weren't enough, there is an Internet website dedicated to resources and additional exercises for each lesson. A really impressive collection of learning aids.
