(PLEASE NOTE: I do have the DVDs that go with this coursebook. They are scratched so I didn't want to sell them but would be happy to send them along if you wish to have them as well. I just can't guarantee their playability. They are not scratched bad and I do believe they will play but did not test to check.)
