Title: good but not great
Review: Beginner's Japanese is a very useful beginning text but has some problems. While katakana and hiragana are introduced and used, the text relies on romaji and doesn't introduce any kanji. Using only this text, students can only go so far - you could only improve in speaking and listening, but you would not be able to read or write Japanese very well after using this text.
