Programmed College Vocabulary

I am fanatic about the quality of books I use to learn with, so I am suprised that the best book I've used for vocabulary building seems little known. In the 1969 edition, a precursor to this one, the first couple chapters review the meaning of latin and greek roots, provide examples of words those roots are in, then has you use difficult words with now familiar roots to fill in sentence blanks. The author then moves on to teaching vocabulary words, which you learn by the same format he used to teach roots. Answers to all of the problems are provided in the margins, so you will need to cover the page sides as you read. "Programmed College Vocabulary" works best for students who are familiar enough with english to learn by somewhat casual reading. If you have difficulty with novels, this book isn't for you...yet.
