Re: Haydn Richards English Books
I have several different editions and they really seem to be the same.
It is just a newer book.
I noticed that some of the page orders have changed but the content such as the comprehensions remain the same.
Some of my editions have the answers and some do not - I am not entirely sure why that is!

Re: Haydn Richards English Books
Someone kindly lent me a copy of the Haydn Richards books to look through, but I decided that they were not as useful or comprehensive as the First Aid in English was, and I have stuck with this, using it alongside a few others such as the Bond 'No Nonsense' English, which has good comprehensions as well as other exercises.
haydn Richard's were also not presented as clearly or as well as First Aid is, and although this may seem like a petty point, to a 9 or 10 year old used to crisp, good quality graphics, I fear Haydn could be a turn-off for what many children already find a pretty turgid subject. I have been impressed by First Aid - it has a lot of relevant info and exercises. The answer book is purchased separately, though.

Hi 11+ novice
I have just got Books 1 and 4 from 1981. They are markedly (but not significantly) different from Books 1 and 4 (that were published in 1997).
That being said, I will use the 1981 editions for Books 1-4 (answers included with all). I prefer all things, traditional.
