I don't know the authors but was told by faculty that the guides were not written by native speakers; occasionally they have found language mistakes. The exercises are varied and many are interesting. Our faculty like to work with specific excerpts and unfortunately there are very few transcriptions (if any) contained in the guides. Nonetheless, there is a lot to be said for handy material and thought-provoking activities. Plus, the price is reasonable. my two cents bruce Boston University Geddes Language Center
