I'd like to try Assimil for the first time (Spanish with Ease). Could someone advise me
what exactly I need to buy from Amazon US in order to get both the book and the CDs?

On the Amazon US listing for Assimil Spanish with Ease, there's an option for 'Paperback'
(at an Amazon price of $19.64) and 'Audio, CD' at $32.97. The $32.97 option shows an
image of a book with a mention of CDs in the lower right corner -- but I don't have a
sense of how much Assimil ...with Ease courses 'should' cost, so don't know whether it's
likely that I need to order the CDs separately.

$32.97 sounds like the right price for the Book + CDs set. At least, that's the price I
paid for New French with Ease with CDs several years ago. If you want to be absolutely
sure, you can find the set that you're interested in on the www.assimil.com website, copy
the ISBN number and then search for that ISBN number on the amazon.com website. That
should come up with the correct book. Good luck!

You just need to buy the "pack". 32$ sounds more like the price of the book (it's 25€ in France, for around 62€ for the pack to give you an idea).
The book of the pack and the book alone are the same. So a drawing of a CD on the cover of the book doesn't mean it comes with the book.

The description of the product should tell you what it contains (a CD or not). If the product is new, then I doubt 32$ is the price of the pack.

That's my problem, Vermillon: There is nothing labelled as a "pack," and the product
description gives no information about what's included with either option.

Thanks, Mike245, I'll try the ISBN approach.

The reviews seem to indicate that the more expensive version inculdes the book and CD.

The Assimil Spanish for $32.97 has the CD's and book. I bought this one last year. The prices for Assimil through Amazon are significantly lower than what is charged for Assimil in Europe.
