Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me out!
I'm considering purchasing a used copy of New French With Ease, without any audio, it's only a couple dollars. I know audio isn't NEEDED with Assimil, but it helps a ton, and I was wondering where I could find it, since this is an old edition. I believe it's the 1989 version, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I purchase the new version with the audio? or try to hunt this one down?
The ISBN: 2700500954 / 2-7005-0095-4
Thanks everyone! (No, I'm not suggesting illegal means)
EDIT: Found some audio, 113 lessons, it starts with "A Paris" Lesson 5 - "Une Conversation Telephonique"
I have no idea what book that is or if it changes, I just want to get the version to match the audio. It says "1998" on the audio. Can anyone tell me what book to buy to match it?

I'm just wondering if they changed, I can't seem to find the 1998 edition anywhere, or it's really expensive. The 1989 edition is $1.25, I just wondered in Assimil changed the lessons :/ Zeke what's the ISBN number on that book?

I've got the new 2009 edition of the book (the one with the cube on the front cover). On the first page it reads: "©
1998". The ISBN is 978-2-7005-0229-9.
I think there are 3 generations of the Assimil French course:
Assimil French without Toil: 140 lessons
Assimil French with Ease: 99 lessons
Assimil New French with Ease: 113 lessons
Most of the lessons in the 99 and the 113 lessons courses are the same. The old Without Toil is a completely
different course.
