After buying a number of other books on Russian, this is DEFINITELY the best one. Too bad its not currently available to order. If you are a begining to the Russian language than this is the book to have. It has everything from diagrams of the mouth to help with pronounciation, to a short picture dictionary, to great exercises - AND an answer key. A must have.

A must-have if you just started learning Russian
My private Russian instructor introduced me to this book. It is written by a native Russian and also distributed by a reputable Russian publisher. The explanations are methodical and thorough, the examples are numerous. If there were just one book in Russian instruction you could have, my advice is for you to get this one.
