What makes the Basel-Stadt edition different from the general handbook?
It contains the complete federal course (Parts I, II and IV) plus its own Part III: 7 lessons on Basel-Stadt and 50 canton-specific practice questions with explanations. Exactly the local material that often decides the interview.
Which languages is the book in?
German, English, French and Italian. All four language versions (PDF + EPUB) are included in one purchase.
