5.0 out of 5 stars The Best First Book to the Language & the Movement! 11 Jun 2001
By Richard Kinne - Published on Amazon.com
I'd normally not want to simply add another "Oh this is a great book" to the list of reviews that is already here, but honestly Richardson deserves the praise.

While the book largely tries to be three things at once it is successful to a good degree. The first part of the book is a good overview of the "language problem" and Esperanto's solution to is. It's also a good (but increasingly dated) overview of Esperanto culture and resources.

The second part of the book is a reasonable 10-lesson section on Esperanto itself. it does a good job at this for its size by immediately integrating the reading of dialog at the end of every lesson.

Finally, the most unique part of the book is its last part: a small Esperanto reading anthology that allows you to immediately try your new found skill.

If you're interested in Esperanto in any capacity (save hard linguistics, perhaps) this book is your first stop. Get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best all-in-one esperanto instroduction 12 Mar 2000
By Stephen B. Cobb - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are curious about Esperanto or if you want to introduce someone to it, this is the single best all-in-one volume. Its four parts(history of the 'language problem', short course, readings, short dictionary) provide everything you need to get started (and more--honestly, the language is so easy). If you then need more material, there are many thousands more books and compact discs in existence, though Amazon.eo has yet to appear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of Esperanto reading material 26 Dec 1999
By Patrick Campion - Published on Amazon.com
I purchased this book after I was already familiar with the basics of Esperanto, so I used the language lessons themselves as a review, rather than a primary means of learning the language from scratch. What I enjoyed most about this book was its history of the Esperanto language and movement (written in English, in the first section of the book), and the large number of reading exercises on diverse topics in the last section. The reading exercises are very helpful if you've advanced to a level where you find the basic stuff to be a little to easy and you're ready for more of a challenge.
