Nope. As daristani has pointed out, a book with the exact same title was published in 1987.
I assume that it is a new edition. According to Assimil's website this one has 70 lessons whereas the older version, which I have in front of me, has 94. The author and title of booth books are the same though, so whether this the new Perfectionnement italian consists of entirely new material remains a question as yet unanswered. I certainly hope that the recordings have been done with different and better actors, as one of the chief problems I have with the course I own is the quality of the performances. Anyone who has worked with it will know that there is one person in particular who seems to be either a)a robot, or b)to have received the script about 10 seconds before the mikes were switched on.

Since we're talking about new Assimil courses, let me just add that based on
correspondence I've had with the company, the new Bahasa Indonesia course will come out in November of this year. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

You're welcome.
Seldnar, perhaps you could inform us if there any other courses in the schedule, that is, to be published? Edited by koba on 14 March 2012 at 12:46am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The new Arabic and Portuguese courses look tempting (though the later is just more of a
revision). Yay for more Assimil! I love these guys!!! Hmmm...I wonder how hard Ukrainian is after Russian...I kid, I kid but still... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Is the new Portuguese course you're referring to the fairly recent Le portugais du Brésil or is there another course for the Portuguese of Portugal on the horizon? I'm glad that Perfectionnement arabe is out, as I think a lot of us have been hoping for more books in the advanced series. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I only know about the Indonesian course. I found some postings by the author on travel forum and she said she expected it out this year, so I wrote Assimil and asked specifically about the course. (I've learned that when a publisher brings out a book (course, etc) is not always when the author thinks her/his work is coming out--authors usually think its sooner than the publisher) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I've just ordered the new Assimil Russian course for English speakers. I've been putting
off starting on Russian for a while now because I was waiting for this course to be released. Now I have no excuses :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
