Regarding buying the textbook:

If you'd like to get a brand new "New Survival English, New Edition with student CD" online (with 5% off NT$550):
Link to second hand New Edition, New Survival English: About NT$250~290.

Note: Make sure the title has the word "New". 
It'd be a good idea to check to ensure the person is still selling it before placing the order.
