This textbook really teaches you Mandarin Chinese the easy way. Forget about taking cl[censored] in school, and all of those homework assignments you do every night. This is a very good textbook covering pronunciation, grammar, and writing. Includes both pinyin and characters. Now, it is easy to teach yourself Mandarin with this textbook. I received this cheap textbook within days. Seller was good, I give my highest recommendation.
