Very good combination textbook/workbook

This book contains quite a bit of information on grammar and usage, coupled with very logical exercises WITH ANSWERS. Its coverage of the subject matter is quite through. It is extremely helpful in mastering specific parts of grammar. However, it provides no real assistance with memorization; you simply have to memorize the new vocabulary. It is more similary to a college-level workbook than to most learn-on-your-own books. The information and exercises and not entertaining, and don't try to be (no cute stories or cartoons, etc.) However, you can benefit greatly form this book. I have used it in conjunction with the Spanish Now! series by Barron's to provide deeper understanding and further practice.

Good workbook

I am a Spanish teacher and I have started using this book for teaching. I think that it is one of the better Spanish books because it combines grammatical explanations with exercises (and answers to the exercises!).The layout, and format are very logical and easy to use for the beginning and intermediate Spanish language students.On the negative side, the sections on Subjunctive and Past Imperfect verb tenses could be more thorough.In general, I recommend this book as a supplement to other Spanish language texts.
