As for the Colloquial Amharic (1st Edition most likely), it is featured in Prof Arguelles' review of the Colloquial series. After the (rather humorous and snide) exposition to the deterioration of Colloquial publications following the case of 3 editions of Romanian, he pulls the Amharic book down and flips through it. This begins at 6:27. Notably, he mentions that the book appears to be very thorough and well put-together and even says "I'm tempted to learn Amharic myself just because I have it."

I'm in the process of updating this listing, and I've also decided to expand it into the larger Ethiopic language family (mostly Amharic, Tigrinya and Ge'ez), as there is not a ton for any of them.

Found this June 2022 Reddit post on self-studying Tigrinya with several resources suggested by two of the commenters.
