I clicked on the author names on the Amazon.co.uk page for EuRom5, and found this book:
Collection F - L'Intercompréhension : une autre approche pour l'enseignement des langues:Collection F - L'Intercompréhension : une autre approche pour ... langues (Nouvelle Formule) by Marie-Christine Jamet and Sandrine Caddéo (one of the EuRom5 authors). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collection-LIntercompr%C3%A9hension- approche-lenseignement-ebook/dp/B00DDOCTZE/ref=sr_1_2?s=book s&ie=UTF8&qid=1378935970&sr=1-2 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I bought "Comprendre les langues romanes" from France, but you can buy it here in Canada a little over $40 on Amazon.ca. It compares Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. I am still focusing on my other three languages, so French will have to be done later. I am actually doing the comparative readings out loud Professor Arguelles recommended in the Self teacher Berlitz course, but with Assimil and Harry Potter. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you all for the references. I also found out that my library has : S'entendre entre langues voisines : vers l'intercompréhension / sous la direction de Virginie Conti et François Grin and it is immediately available so I will probably check it out before the end of the week.

This looks really interesting to me, I'm sure I'll pick up a copy sooner or later, thanks! The similarities between the languages are a huge benefit so I might as well put some time into exploiting them! I don't have any plans to seriously study Portuguese or Catalan for example, but studying the others has given me some passive understanding of them and I'd happily invest a few hours in developing that.
Another book that goes into a lot of detail about the links between the Romance languages and their origins, as well as the Germanic ones, is The Loom Of Languages. It's a bit old and dated, but very interesting. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The idea isn't necessarily to learn the other languages but learning how to communicate with people who speak those languages and being able to read. I think it's worthwhile even if you don't plan on learning to speak those languages, it opens up a whole new world of movies, books, etc.

This looks very interesting. I note you say
I take that to mean that there is no such thing as a base language and the fact that the UK Amazon site offers two different items with different ISBNs is just down to differing publishers and that in reality it's the same book.

I presume that they are different books with French and Italian being the two different base languages. There must be a base language in order for the vocab list and annotations to be in there. Maybe amazon isn't selling the other three versions yet.
To the OP. How good doesn't one have to be in one of the languages to start this book. I have finished Assimil New French with Ease (A2/B1). Would this be enough to understand the annotations etc? Also, is there an audio too? I imagine that it would lead to a lot of misunderstanding if this wasn't available. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@stmc2
Audio is available on their site. There are also sample pages, so you can check whether your level is good enough to understand the comments. Edit: In fact, unless I'm mistaken, the whole book, with texts, annotations and audio, is available on their site if you register.
