Recent Product Reviews:

This book is excellent for explaining basic concepts or helping students who lack confidence. Having compared it to previous editions, I would say that I prefer their covers, this one is very pink!The sections of the book (not the workbook) with the background page colour and text colour the same (e.g. dark green text on a light green background) can be difficult for some students to read.
