 Rating:  - Great HelperThis is the best Spanish-English book I have ever purchased! You must get this book for help and better understanding. Rating: - great bookI have found this book very valuable. I am a medical student and my Spanish is intermediate.

It is not at all comprehensive. I give it one star because the design of the book cover is attractive.
