Review title: An mixed improvement over the 2nd edition
Product review: Perhaps it's history with this set of books, but I kinda preferred the prior edition of this book. They've definitely gone through a major revision here though which is good to see for such a useful series. I purchased this for a quick review reference (my 2nd edition copy is very well worn :-)). It includes the CD which is a plus. The lesson flow is nice as are the vocabulary listings (now at the bottom of each section) but the grammar points seem convoluted compared to the prior edition. Overall, I recommend this and the other books in this series -- stay with the Kana versions though.
