Yes it is.

It could be a little clearer from the cover though, or even inside the book.. I have the 2003 edition, and the only indication on the cover is a little zoomed-in Portuguese flag on the front cover.

In the pronunciation guide both Portuguese and Brazilian usage is described (not Angolan or anything else though!).

The grammar seems to be Iberian (European) Portuguese ("Eu chamo-me ...")

And it's published in Britain and the writer works in London so it's more likely to be European Portuguese.

I don't have the audio though. However, the imitated pronunciation in the book is European.

I assumed you were in Germany since that is what your profile says.

Yup, that one, but it is not in stock.
The amazon.co.uk page says "Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

No, the German site says "order, and we'll ship it when available". The uk site says
what I wrote. Basically out of print everywhere.
