Have you checked this out with your teacher? He/she would be familiar with your current skill level and be in a good poistion to make an appropriate recommendation.

$64.80 seems too much for it.
Is there something simpler that is lower priced?

Good books have always been expensive. If it offers valuable input $80.00 will be money well spent.
Has anyone used this book with the CD?.
Regards,
Steve

In addition, the other commonly used university level texts are Kostka/Payne and Aldwell/Schachter.
For a less expensive text, check out Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory. It doesn't realy have any counterpoint and only covers really basic harmony, but it's good for the basics.
