 From what I've seen, the TY Sanskrit pictured on that page is a pretty good
text. My exposure to it is limited to glancing through in shops at various
stages of my life and finding something interesting, like a brief disquisition
on PIE/Sanskrit "vowel grades" and whatnot. It looks good'n'nerdy.

Of course, even if this is a CD version of that book, it may be no good.
But it if has recordings of the text, then that in itself is quite an advantage,
no? (hey, never mind that no-one ever speaks Sanskirt. What's that got to do
with anything, eh?)
