You've just found one of the best ways to quickly build your Spanish vocabulary!
Cognates are words that sound similar in different languages. There are thousands of English-Spanish cognates, and this book covers over 1000 of the most common. Though you'll still have to study the words (simply reading through the book one time won't commit them to memory), you'll find that you can learn more words in a shorter amount of time.
The words in the book are sorted alphabetically, and each word's part of speech (noun, vowel, adjective, etc.) is clearly marked.
The free sample of the book includes the introduction (that talks about how to use the book and how to study the words) and 55 words that start with the letter A. The rest of the book continues on with the rest of the alphabet.
UPDATE 3/24/12: Fixed some spelling errors caused by the word processor's autocorrect.
