Nope. Ebay. But Amazon has a lot too, and it's easier to search there. You can restrict the searches by publication date on Amazon but not on eBay. The books can be found for $0.01-2 plus $3.99 shipping.

I bought some of the old ones yesterday on amazon. The cheapest was an old version of German for 99 cents. I think the most expensive one was an $5-8 Spanish edition, and I also bought a Portuguese edition that I think was $4. I should have bought the Russian instead of the German, but oh well.
The only thing to remember with the older editions is they might have outdated words, as some of the reviewers said. That is kind of a tradeoff for the method. I'm also borrowing the modern (early 2000s editon) versions for comparison. I've never studied German or Portuguese, so I guess I'll see for myself how the older editions compare to the new ones. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I wish they'd publish one of those vocabulary books for Russian. That would be awesome~

TY Swahili was the first Swahili resource I bought (found it in the Kisumu Nakumatt...
shout outz!), and in fact I could probably say it is the first autodidactic language resource I've ever bought. I was quite pleased with it, and have recommended it to others. I see the new edition is by the same author (Joan Russell), so I will certainly continue to. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I had a look at the new edition of TY Arabic recently. In fact apart from the cover it is exactly the same as the previous edition. I suspect this will be the case for many of the lesser leant languages.

I have used many Teach Yourself books from Cantonese to French, but I didn't stay on these too long as I have to
focus on my German and Irish also. I enjoyed them, but living in small town Ireland haven't encountered Cantonese guides other than from Teach Yourself. The only new edition (2010) Teach Yourself guide I've gotten so far was on Freud. 1 person has voted this message useful |
