I'm really confused as to which version of Assimil Spanish With Ease is the newest. On
Assimil.com it is a white book with that cube graphic, just like the German one. But, on
Amazon, for the same ISBN I see the black book that looks a bit older. I'm trying to get
the latest English version of it for the cheapest. Can anyone help?

I'm pretty sure it is the white book with the cube logo thing on the Assimil website. Do not trust the picture on amazon, even if it's the same ISBN number.

I suggest buying the $33 one on Amazon with the book and CDs. I think all the versions of "with ease" are essentially the same so I see no reason to buy the $200 version. The $33 version is great.

Ok. I'll go ahead and pick it up. Does this mean I got ripped off for buying the German
with ease book from B&N for $30 and then torrenting the audio, when I could have had the
actual CDs for another $3? Man.

When they say hardcover are they talking about that quasi-soft cover from German with
ease?

Does anyone have a link to the correct product page on Amazon? When I search for it on Amazon, the only one I can find that is in the $3X range is the one with cassettes for $28. The ones with CDs all seem to be $140 or more.

I don't see it there anymore either. I guess they stopped selling it.

I found this on Amazon. It seems to be the book and the CDs, but the picture is definitely different from the $33 listing that used to be on Amazon so I am not really sure what the deal is.
