I love this book. It has helped me so much, especially with irregular verbs. I highly recommend it to everyone who is taking a Spanish class. It is so helpful, and the cd provides extra practice as well.

This text is one of the finest teaching aids that I have seen. The new edition has been carefully thought out by the authors and publishers. The enclosed CD not only tests the student's knowledge of the subject, but offers comments on each question as to why various answers are correct. This edition more completely integrates other important grammatical points with the focus of verb conjugation far more instructively than previous editions. The text should serve as a model for any author or publisher contemplating language skills texts. It is apparent that the many years of teaching have given the authors an appreciation for both appropriate content of subject material as well as in which formats or modes students can best learn these skills. This text is a must for anyone studying Spanish. It has no peer in its genre.

These books are excellent. I have used the French, Spanish and German versions and wouldn't dream of learning a new language without a copy. I have yet to meet a language professor that doesn't have a well worn copy at their disposal.
