Review: Great exercises, remarkably extensive and complete practice of everything ... - You need to buy this workbook if you are using Learn to Read Latin. Great exercises, remarkably extensive and complete practice of everything taught in the textbook. If you do read the textbook and do these exercises, you will learn to read Latin well! Review: I don't think it's "very good". - The book is old and worn and has too much meaningless writing. I could barely say it is fair. But the delivery is pretty good.

Clear and well paced
The book and its workbooks are very clear, well written and well paced, although if you are studying by yourself, it's probably best if you start with some knowledge of Latin (as I do). The absence of an answer key for the workbooks is the main disadvantage. An earlier reviewer said that it is possible to request an answer key from the authors, but I wasn't sure how to go about reaching them. I am enjoying working my way through this, but I'd enjoy it a lot more if I knew whether my answers were correct and I was actually learning it!

Falls apart easily
The book seemed good at first, no markings or tears, however, the pages have quickly started to fall out after only a few reads. The pages are attached like notebook paper, so they fall out easily. I've had this book for only two weeks and the last five pages have already fallen out, another page fell out from just opening the book.
