Includes Tamil text, trancription, translation and vocabulary (in Tamil script and transcription). I am afraid the book doesn't teach you Tamil per se, but rather conversation and colloquiallisms. Actually the transcription is a half way between transcription and transliteration. The voicing and spirantisation are not marked (only k, not k or h or g), nasal vowels are marked. The Tamil texts doesn't always correspond to transcription.
