You're right. It's the shipping cost to the US that's $4.95 US whereas to rest of the world it's $18.
$1 for a well-regarded book isn't the worst thing in the world and certainly bettter than paying several hundred bucks for it to some schmuck on Amazon Marketplace. Edited by Chung on 25 May 2012 at 6:25pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Or, worth buying for $1, and then selling on Amazon Marketplace for a mere $499. Even better, you could sell it on Amazon.co.uk where the current price for a used copy is £1,623.89 Edited by Splog on 25 May 2012 at 6:42pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

What's the thing with these astronomically high prices we see now and then on Amazon? Are these people insane? A thousand dollars/euros/pounds for a USED book (or even worse - LP/CD). Oh, the humanity...

It seems that someone's snapped up that dirt-cheap copy as it's no longer available at Abebooks for $1. This may be a coincidence but the used copy on Amazon.com Marketplace for about $510 US is also gone. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"X Pratique de base" are the new ones (beginning- mid-2000's), more languages (Arabic, Chinese...) are available and some of the "classics" (German at least) were rewritten. It seems that all the books (wether old or new) are now called "X débutant-xyzXYZ 2/3 mois". For those of you who are interested, you can find the French editions of the old books for more or less 1€ on priceminister.com Edited by akkadboy on 26 May 2012 at 10:05am 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'They are not as much talked over as Assimil because they offer less languages, but I do like them over Assimil. A similar series (with more titles but less content) is the 40 leçons series.
I have been using Methode 90 for chinois as some people widely know and I like it way better than Assimil. It is better structured. It does have its flaws, like the lack of pinyin in most grammar explanations and sometimes the constant shift of subjects in small dialogues that make them sound a little nonsense, but I like it and recommend it overall. I own a physical copy of the Russian one, and apart with German, they seem a bit more grammar-blocked than vocabulary-oriented, when compared to the Chinese one. I have to go through them further in order to check whether most of the lessons consist of sample sentences covering specific grammar topics or the language presented is actually living as in the Chinese one. 1 person has voted this message useful |
