This is a good one. I got it real cheap and use it pretty much daily. Ends up coming to about a penny for every forty sentences if you buy it used for $4.00 (with shipping).

Thank you for all the great answers so far!

@frony0: Yeah, sure, but I have been thinking of that as the last resort only.

@delta: Wow, those are terrific books, really!

@prink: Think I'm gonna buy this one. Nice.

@prink: Could you tell me how many words this one actually covers? I guess like 3k, right?

I'm not too sure, since they're not numbered and the number of words on each page varies. There's 1097 pages with anywhere from about 5 to 12 (maybe even more on some) words on each page. I would guess 10k. There is no audio, however, if that is something you're looking for. I've used it in conjunction with Core 6k, KO2001 and other audio Anki decks.
