Reviews
"A comprehensive text for upper-intermediate Spanish composition courses that is complemented by online, student oriented materials... A resource that can be used beyond the scope of the class for which it is assigned and can remain an active part of students' libraries long after the class is finished." — Hispania
"The breadth and depth of each lesson's treatment of the requisite and relevant grammar points is remarkable: the ins and outs of Spanish structure and vocabulary (especially points troublesome to English speakers) are here clarified and exemplified.... An invaluable review and reference grammar which students will consult again and again, as they likely make this one textbook that they will not sell back to the bookstore at the end of the term." — Philip W. Klein, Professor, University of Iowa
