I used this text for a while.  I found the lack of accents irritating and 
got in the habit of looking up new words in the Gingrich and Danker 
"Shorter Lexicon" and putting in my own accents in the first 
appearance of a word.  

I got the impression that he was afraid of frightening away students if 
he mentioned grammar.  Of course he eventually had to, and I was 
mentally using the usual terms anyway, and I suppose that for present 
day students, it might be better to let them get a bit of a start before 
making it look too much like work.  

One thing about this text I especially like is the exercises.  Whenever 
he presents anything new, he gives several examples of it in use, then 
immediately several translation exercises.  These are a great help in 
learning new material.  Of course there the usual chapter-end exercises 
as well.
