Does anyone know where I can purchase the American version of '新概念（New Concept English）'? I already got the 'British/English' version but am at a loss to find the version with the American phonetics. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Any help would be appreciated.

You will have to look under "New Concept American".

probably the most out of date english text inthe world. unless you have a student whose parents insist onthe book, why?
