Dated but effective

With the many phrases related to collective farms, you can tell this book came from the Cold War era. Despite its rather drab appearance, the book is useful in giving the student a solid foundation for the language. There isn't alot of focus on vocabulary, but by the time you finish the book, you will feel comfortable with the difficult aspects of Russian grammar.

An outdated text

I had this book for First Year Russian back about 10 years ago. It's probably not the best book for beginning Russian. It's somewhat old with no pictures, games, cultural information, or the other types of things you might find in a modern textbook. However, it did the trick and helped to propel me into what would eventually become my major in college.
