I'm a Spanish speaker and I bought this book for my boyfriend. I took my time looking trough many books because I wanted to get the best book that would show him not only grammar but that had exercises, vocabulary, reading paragraphs and I found the EASY SPANISH STEP BY STEP which is the first book that covers basic and some intermediate on the last lessons of the book and now that he is about to finish that book I bought him the ADVANCE SPANISH STEP BY STEP. I have seen a really good improvement since the very first time he took the book. Even though he has to think a little, he is able now to say some well structure sentences in Spanish thanks to the first book and I'm sure that once he finish the advance one he will be able to follow a conversation.As a Spanish speaker I would recommend this book because it covers all the essentials and helps you not only to learn how to ask for the bathroom or where a restaurant is but to be able to communicate too.Another book I thought was good is the PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT by Dorothy Richmond however, you would have to buy the basic, intermediate and advance which STEP BY STEP covers exactly the same topics but in two books instead of three.If you want to learn Spanish you would have to be constant and grab the book for couple hours at least 3 times a week. I recommend you to combine the book with some audio CD's. Another thing I think it would help, and it helped me when learning English, was to watch Spanish TV or movies with subtitles.I took my time writing this review so I hope it was of any help to make you decide for a Spanish book.
This book is clearly written and easy to understand. The examples and grammar exercises offer excellent illustration and re-enforcement of the text. In short this is a fine textbook for anyone trying to learn Spanish.Unfortunately, little thought was given to converting this text book into an E-book. It seems as if the editors at  satisfied themselves by simply scanning the original text into an E-book. Unlike recreational readers, the readers of textbooks have special needs. Listed below are three issues that will prove troublesome to most students. If  wants to capture a larger share of the textbook market, it must address these items.First, the lack of page numbers makes it difficult for the reader to cite quotations and refer back to previous topics while studying.Second, almost all of the examples are printed in a small font that I found impossible to enlarge. This is a serious problem for those readers who wear glasses or study late at night.Third, as is common in textbooks, the answer key for the exercises is found at the end of the book. Unfortunately, the answers for many of the exercises do not restate the question. They consist of the question number and the answer which is often only one word. The absence page numbers makes it difficult for the reader to refer back to the exercise, see the question, and understand the meaning of the answer.With a little bit of extra work this great book could be even better.
this book is really, really good, and so obviously written by someone with a lot of experience teaching americans how to speak spanish - the back cover says 30+ years - as it's organized and presented in such a clear, natural way, everything more relevant than the last. i use the word relevant on purpose - i remember huge swaths of space in other books/programs (rosetta stone!) all about ice skating and castles, which i guess is fine if you're someone who's learning spanish so that you can be an amazingly well-versed tourist. but if you actually want to talk to people, at length, about things that are more germane to their everyday experiences, then a book like this might really help you. it is definitely helping me. i'm living in mexico this summer, and relying on it a lot. i think what's most impressed me is the thought given to the order in which the information and lessons are presented. they really do build on one another in that you are always ready for the next concept, and the examples given are clear and really reproducible. overall, i'm so impressed that i created an  account just to write this review and say thank you to the author.this being said, one of the other reviewers is right -- would be much more helpful if the answer section at the back of the book included the complete sentences with the verbs. others have complained about the e-book, which i can't speak to since i have the hardcopy -- which, again, i super highly recommend.
I have both the printed and e-book (Kindle) versions of this book. The printed version is excellent, but in creating the e-book they must have used a "picture" mode for the examples. They are very hard to read using the Kindle reader software on a PC or on an Android device and increasing the font size for the book does not change the font size for the examples. I have even tried using the "magnifying glass" in Microsoft to read the examples and it does make the readable, but I would not recommend this for reading a book and the print is very ragged "under" the magnifying glass. I wish that they had used a different process for "printing" the examples in the e-book to make them more readable and to allow for adjusting their font. I would give the contents of the book a five for a mid-level Spanish learner, if the examples were more readable.
