Summary: Good as a supplement
Comment: (By Edward Trimnell, author of "Why You Need a Foreign Language & How to Learn One," ISBN:1591133343)
As several reviewers have pointed out, this book is not exactly equivalent to a university textbook in Spanish. It is indeed quite simple, and filled with lots of pictures.
Some people have difficulty getting motivated with the more advanced texts, and this book can convince the beginner that learning a foreign language really won't be as painful as a root canal.
If you already know some Spanish, then your money would best be spent elsewhere. However, this book will be helpful if you have found yourself intimidated by past Spanish courses, or by foreign language study in general.

Summary: Useful for Some; But Not the Best
Comment: I found this book to be useful at first, but I later changed to "Spanish Made Simple" (Jackson, Rubio revised by Nemethy; make sure you get the 2004 edition). The latter book is not nearly as "simplified" as "Spanish in 10 Minutes", but I found the more methodical approach, reviews, and review tests to be more conducive to study. Make sure you also get some means of audio instruction to get the pronouciation right. I used the Pimsleur CD's which are very expensive but easily the best. (Look for them in your library first.)
Rating: 4
Summary: Not Next to Awful
Comment: I used this series to start my German learning experience. Although one reviewer seemed to think cute pictures mean this book is for childern or is educationally bad, it actually works. I used this book for 10-20 minutes a day and I immediately could talk German! I went on with other courses, and the last time I was in Germany, I spoke in German and was understood! An excellent series for a jumpstart that primes your mind for further, more "intellectual" learning. I am starting the Spanish now with the hope for the same results. Sometimes simple and cute is more powerful than dull and dry.
