What a deal! Oct 14, 2009 My daughter's school only sold the materials she needed for her Spanish class as a set over 250.00. We were thrilled that we could order the materials separately at a decent savings! Good news!
Great find Sep 26, 2009 This was a great find for college spanish class. Very good condition and the book came in very quickly.
Mishunia from California Aug 24, 2009 It is not bad book, but the truth is that it has to be apdated, for this money it should be something new, not like this guys do - change some dialogs, but the book is the same from one year to another. There are so many new ways to study languages!

Nothing special Aug 19, 2009 I am a Spanish professor and my department requires us to teach from this text. I find the text's content to be quite grammar heavy and not engaging. The presentation of vocabulary appears random at times and the exercises are dull and not related to the chapter's content. Have you noticed that days of the week and months of the year are introduced in Chapters 4 and 5? Even in the 8th edition! Why aren't they introduced with classes?
It requires a tremendous amount of effort to actually engage students in the content. The text is not very communicative nor does it include much detail about cultural difference. I have found that this book promotes less fluency than others (namely Dos mundos or Vistas). I have taught from several Spanish texts and this one is one of the lowest on my list. McGraw-Hill hasn't done such a great job keeping up with technology or freshness of content. The way I see it, this text was useful and perhaps even cutting-edge when its first edition came around. Unfortunately the text hasn't evolved since. In all, the book is dated and needs some serious revising or needs to be phased out completely.
Better than the college bookstore version Jul 13, 2009 The copied book the bookstore sells for twice as much is not as good! Highlighted text does not show up and they don't even give you a binder to put it in! There is also a Spanish/English and English/Spanish glossary in the back of this version! Save some money, buy this one!
