Details of the series are found here:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6302892058/qid=1106148381/sr=8-2/ref=pd_csp_2/002-6192667-6689612?v=glance&s=video&n=507846

Remember it? What do you think of it?

Does anyone use it? Can it be a help to ESL classes you teach? If you were to change or update it, what would you change?

This is what he's been up to lately:

Have not checked your links but have seen series and read book. Wonderful and fun, but in ESL context useful only for advanced students on a career track to becoming English teachers themselves, and only in a background-information context. Book and series intended for general public consumption and very little academic application. But very nicely done.
