Intro Text: Lipson's A Russian course

[Ernest Scatton]

On Lipson's book:
   It's the only book that I've ever used that (1) is fun, (2) does a
terrific job on grammar, (3) has systematic, careful reinforcement,
(4) keeps vocabulary under control. The book went through several
revisions while Lipson was still alive. Even though I haven't been able
to use it for some time, I still recommend that grad students/assistants
look at it for method/humor.
