French: How to Speak and Write It: A Conversational Method for Self-Study - Joseph Lemaitre

Probably the most delightful, useful, and comprehensive elementary book available for learning spoken and written French, either with or without a teacher. Working on the principle that a person learns more quickly by example then by rule, Lema tre has assembled colloquial French conversations on a variety of subjects, as well as grammar, vocabulary, and idiom studies.
