I've heard so much positive pub about this book, and love the inspirational story of our very own fanatic
so much, that I decided I wanted to own a copy of German without Toil. I just bought this 1981 version
from a 3rd party seller on Amazon for what came to around $35 after tax :)

I may have jumped the gun and should have checked first, but is this the proper edition, or should I have
held out for the one from the 50's? Or are they the same content-wise and this was a new print run?

Most importantly, where can I acquire the audio for this? Thanks so much to everyone, I'm quite excited to
get my first "without toil" after being exposed to the "with ease" series :)

It is the same as the 1950s version save a few modifications of the prices.

I have two German Without Toils. One was printed in 1954 and the other in 1982. The lessons are the same except that in the 1954 verson Gothic type is used from lesson 71 forward and in the 1982 version it is used only in lesson 71.

Thanks for the info! Now i've just got to hope the seller actually sends it! It is 3rd party on Amazon and
they have many positive reviews, but I've never had someone not send out the product the business day
after ordering! Fingers crossed...
