Additional Book Comments        
This is NOT the complete book list for this class.  
Instructor's comments about the book list: Bonjour tout le monde! The most important book to buy is the Contrastes Workbook as we will be using this throughout the semester (the print version, rather than the online one). I am posting this book list now for pre-registration although I have not yet adapted this course to the module system. Consequently, please hold off purchasing the Maryse Conde since I have not yet decided whether or not to include this book in our program in the spring. I will update this list after the pre-registration period.
