I love the way this book starts with little dialogs in French, where you can try to figure out for yourself what they're saying, and then the next page has the words in translation so you can see how right - or wrong - you were. It's not just lists of phrases, or grammar and dictionaries, they're included, but it's more than that. It's a lot "friendlier" than other language books, and as great way to get off to a good start with learning French. I highly recommend it.
