Apparently this initially came with a record with recorded examples.
We did NOT get the record in with it.
We are just selling this great book ... :-)

This book is in pretty good condition, but the cover is very worn and has some writing on the front.
No torn or ripped pages.
The previous owner's name is stamped on the inside cover and there is some writing on the first blank page.
There are a few pages with some highlighting.
