The book was published (1st edition) 3 or maybe 4 years ago max. I believe the very low beginning book is the newest and was written by a different author, but still holds the same format. The benefit to it's "newness" is that the material is fresh, probably hasn't been used extensively outside the U.S., and has a much better flow from activity to activity, AND the majority of students actually like it compared to some of the older stuff. |
