    I have used this anthology as a quick reference in my AP Spanish Literature classes. I would compare this book as good as "Momentos Cumbres" which has an excellent source of prose and poetry. It's nice to find a reference textbook that provides consistency from year to year.

    I would love to have a review copy of this book.

    Thank you.
