Teach Yourself Latin

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for review or further self study.
Review: This text was recommended to me for further independent study after two years of high school Latin (using the Ecce Romani series). For that purpose, it is excellent, but it would probably be rather hard going for one truly starting from the beginning. The boldface type (of which there is a great deal) is rather blurred and difficult to read--on occasion one has to guess at a letter; and the binding on my copy began to fall apart by the time I was only a quarter of the way through the book. The reading selections are outstanding. I consider the purchase price money well spent.

Summary: Addendum to previous review
Review: When I E-mailed to the publisher to comment on the binding and boldface print quality, they promptly sent me another copy at no charge. In fact, the print IS a bit more readable than in my first copy. I have high hopes for the binding, and it is a pleasure finding a business that goes the extra mile.
