Conversational Russian: In 20 Lessons (Cortina Method) (Paperback)
ISBN-10: 0805015019
ISBN-13: 978-0805015010

I was thinking about getting this from amazon.

Have anyone else tried it? And if so, is it good or bad?

Is there a way to get the audio for this (in mp3)?

I like the Cortina Conversational Languages in 20 Lessons books. I had a look at the sample pages on Amazon's website. I would only say that I would recommend you buy it in conjunction with another course. It looks excellent but it could be overwhelming to a beginner.

According to Cortina's website it is not available with audio or as a full course. I wonder if there was an old course with audio.

The Russian course did come with audio. I have only the book, however. I would recommend adding the book to your study materials, as it is excellent as a vocab-builder and useful for getting grammatical patterns to stick. Don't, however, use it as your main source material. As a supplement it is great. Just keep that in mind.
