Title: What a disappointment...
Product review: I used this book for a university course I teach entitled "Italian for Travelers" and it was a disappointment. My students - 60 architectural graduate students headed to Italy for a semester abroad - hated the book because nothing is together... verbs are broken up is such a way that they become difficult to learn: 1 - 3 person singular is presented separate from 1 - 3 person plural forms, the same for numbers, articles, nouns, etc. Everything is broken down into such small parts that it becomes very difficult to see how they all fit together to make a whole. I adopted the book sight unseen because I was given the job four weeks before the semester began and it was what had been used previously... won't be used again!
