For $50, this is a LOT of material, and from what I have read and heard so far, it is excellent quality. Beside my Read & Speak Korean I bought for $15, this is probably the best value of learning materials I have purchased. Big thumbs up recommendation.
It includes a book on writing Hangul with work pages for practicing writing. Spans from Beginner thru to Advanced.
I use it sometimes but I'm very careful with it.

This book focuses on simple conversations that a new visitor to Korea might encounter. Aimed at the person self-studying with MP3 of all conversations.
I wish I had bought the first book too, but at $34 USD (imported from Korea price) my budget was strained to buy just one.
Right now, it is still too difficult for me. Yet it is exactly the kind of stuff I need to start conversing with my Korean friends. I am using it as a supplement to my online class to practice small talk.
