Hi everyone, Sorry to bother you all while you're sunning yourselves by the pool and enjoying a nice restful vacation, but I need to sound out more advice on a couple of books for next year. I had a great response last time so if any of you are still awake and not snoozing blissfully under the palm trees, I need an answer yesterday. I need suggestions AND opinions (this is most important) on good new textbooks for: 8th grade (Aleph level): not First Choice 9th grade (Bet and Gimmel Levels): not Spotlight and Spotlight Alt. Also, if you used a certain textbook which wasn't successful, I'd also like to know. Thanks, and now you can go back to smearing on the suntan lotion, Laura Shashua
