Where's my money, New Penguin?!?!?

The best book for beginning, IMHO, is this one:

<a href = "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0844236810/qid=1123516180/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/104-7239552-7019120?v=glance&s=books" target =- "blank">Teach Yourself Beginner's Russian</a>


Great for someone truly just starting out, I was a little overwhelmed by New Penguin when I first started.
