Hmm, actually never heard of it but if it doesn’t have romaji then that is a good thing, my college schedule is loaded though. I wonder if it bases itself off the fact that college students are busy, or that it is college level language studies. Not even Amazon has any reviews of it, not to mention it’s a text from the mid-90′s so could also be a little “old-school” in learning methods.
If you are able to check-out the copy from your university, let us know how the test drive goes.
I tried to do a search for Japanese text at my college but came up with nothing, and unfortunately the public libraries are 30-40 minutes away (driving), if it is good I would have no choice but to buy it, unless I check the incredibly cheap used bookstore (my friend got a “colloquial japanese” book from it for 75¢)
