As of today, the French Language Tutorial is available for purchase as an e-book (PDF format) or as a coil-bound paperback book (8.5″ x 11″). It contains all of the original French tutorials (French 1-7) and French Phonetics, plus I included IPA transcriptions for most of the vocabulary lists and for all of the verb conjugations (that are not provided online). It is arranged in the same way as the online tutorials, so you can still use the free mp3s, flashcards, & exercises along with the book.
Everything that is currently available on the website will remain free. I am not going to restrict access to those materials. I simply wanted to give people the chance to have hard copies of the tutorials that are ready to be printed or delivered as a traditional book, especially for those who are not at their computers and online for 12 hours a day.

Coil-Bound Paperback Book 224 pages / 8.5″ x 11″ Shipped worldwide by lulu.com $24.95

The e-book has fewer pages because the margins are smaller, but it is the same exact information. I chose a coil binding for the paperback so that the book can lie flat on a desk, and so it would be easier to write notes on the pages or use it in conjunction with an mp3 player while following along with the audio.
I am working on putting together another French book (on informal language & slang, of course) and a multilingual one, but I have no idea when they will be available. My next project is going to be working on the subscription materials for the French listening podcast, and I’ve also got work, real life and sleep to try to catch up on. I’ve added a Store to the site, so check there for any new books in the future.

Great job!
I think my French is good enough (well, the university DID grant me my bilingual certificate
) but I’ll recommend it to my former students.
