Based on the popular language "bibles," The Blue Pocket Book of French Verbs and The Red Pocket Book of Spanish Verbs are the most comprehensive, clearest, and easiest-to-use sources for beginning and intermediate learners. Now these books are even more convenient for school or home use thanks to their smaller trim size. But these pocket-sized guides are still mightier than all of the competition in this format.

These portable guides offer smooth sailing through the turbulent seas of a new grammar with:

• 333 fully conjugated verbs, listed alphabetically
• Current idioms and expressions for each verb
• Full facing page of usage examples for the top50 verbs
• One-stop, at-a-glance verb-tense profiles
• More than 2,200 verbs cross-referenced to models
• A handy guide to deciphering irregular verb forms
• English index to the model verbs

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version is worthless, March 30, 2010

This review is from: The Red Pocket Book of Spanish Verbs (Kindle Edition)

Because I already own The Red Pocket Book of Spanish Verbs in hardcopy I didn't bother to sample it first. That was a mistake I'll never make again. The hardcopy book is a wonderful and useful reference, but the Kindle version is so poorly formatted that it is virtually unusable. This is an egregious example of a publisher simply converting from paper to electronic format with no thought to the differing requirements of the two media! Trying to look up a single verb is nearly impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy reference resource, April 14, 2009

This review is from: The Red Pocket Book of Spanish Verbs (Kindle Edition)

his book is nice and small, yet easy to use and the font is big enough to read with comfort.

There are 333 verbs in this book, and each verb gets a full page detailing all the tenses. I've compared it to the Big Red book and I actually prefer the format of the smaller pocket sized version - somehow it's just easier to navigate and understand at a glance.

There is also a handy explanation of all the tenses at the beginning, and also a list of the "top 30 verbs" with page numbers for easy reference. I recommend this pocket book!

3.0 out of 5 stars great layout; not as comprehensive as i expected, December 11, 2010

This review is from: The Red Pocket Book of Spanish Verbs : 333 Fully Conjugated Verbs (Paperback)

this book is good at doing what it's supposed to do (conjugating in all tenses) with the verbs it provides, but its selection of verbs is questionable. why include 'publicar' (to publish, publicize) and not include 'olvidar/olvidarse' (to forget)? it does have an english-spanish verb index and a more comprehensive spanish verb index in the back, though in the former it doesn't list the translation of 'to discuss', which seems like a common enough verb to me. there's also an irregular verb form index which i haven't referred to yet. it's a small book, and well laid out and easy to use, but i mean come on.
