Summary: maybe for a traveller...
Comment: I'm not advanced enough in my spanish studies to verify the mistakes other reviewers mentioned, but I wouldn't doubt their existence. I bought this book thinking it would be a good introductory primer to the language - it is, only if you know some sentence structure already and are familiar with the language to some extent.
It is also focused on the traveller, going in depth into phrases for hotels, airplanes and transportation. When I tried to look up the word "dog", it wasn't there. Not even "animal" or "pet" is listed in the index.
I'm going to set this book aside for when I'm more familiar with the language and want a quick primer for travelling--and get something else to really teach me spanish.

Summary: This book needs an editor!
Comment: I am trying to learn Spanish and this book is helping to familiarize me with all aspect of the language, however I am finding so many mis- prints and wrong answers in the answer key that it is making me doubt everything else I am trying to learn. Seriously, did anyone edit or check answers in this book? The author and publishing company should be embarrassed. I would not reccomend this edition to anyone unless they were just brushing up on their Spanish and would know a mis- print when they see it.

Summary: Filled with mistakes
Comment: I don't know how this book made it to the printer's with so many mistakes. I'm currently in Chapter 20 and estimate that there's been at least 25 errors including the text and answer guide!
Every time there's an error, I spend 10 minutes trying to understand where I'm off-track. The errors aren't typos, but just plain wrong. It's very frustrating.
