A refreshing book
The book helps me in refreshing my memory on earlier knowledge of arabic alphabets and how they are used. It is recommended for those who want to learn arabic language from zero point.

ECELLENT BOOK!
GOOD BOOK, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE ON DVD, PLUS SALHA ALSO

Mumtaaz
I think it's an excellent book for beginners. The only problem is the transliteration for the tough Arabic letters (Ayn, Ghayn, Khaa, Ha). Overall it's a solid building block.
