Excellent advanced text for serious students of Spanish

I used an earlier edition of this book as part of an advanced, private tutorial in writing and grammar, and still refer to it for subtle questions of grammar and uses of idioms. It is the best, single text for an advanced student of Spanish as a second language that I, as an adult learner, have run across. The book itself has excellent questions and exercises, and the supplementary workbook is entirely optional. The workbook does not match the elegance of the textbook, itself, in my opinion. The workbook is worthwhile if you feel you need to solidify for yourself some of the confusing grammatical points, and especially if this is your first exposure to advanced Spanish. As the author notes in her "correction," the three star rating given by the first reviewer refers only to the workbook. One could quibble whether the primary textbook deserves 4 1/2 or 5 stars, but certainly no less. If the price seems too high (it is a college text, and priced accordingly), you might want to try to find an earlier edition, used.
