I used books 1 and 2 in high school.

I found these books used, and bought them to start re-learning Latin. I am much more familiar with the first two books (they were the textbooks for years 1-3), but I looked through this one.From what I could see, it is much lighter on grammar than years 1 & 2. Year 1 is most of the fundamentals of grammar. Year 2 introduces the demonstratives, subjuntives, subordinate clause structures, etc. In year three, hands-on translation is the focus. Most of the chapters start with long translations. While translations in years 1 & 2 are usually a half page to a page, many of these are two or more pages. They are almost all classical Latin authors, being exceprts from the original texts. (Year 2 had a few exceprts from Pliny and Julius Caesar ["Omnes Gaules sta in tres partes..." Yeah, you know what I'm saying.], but not much.) The grammar is much lighter than before. Some things are explained, but the grammar is mostly unusual clause structures and poetic forms, along with lots of vocabulary. (A Latin>English dictionary is HIGHLY recommended at this point.)
