Excelentemente explicado, aunque yo creo que se necesita un profesor. Muy buena selección de textos. Por otro lado el libro me ha llegado en excelente estado.

Having reached the point of the subjunctive mood I feel confident enough to step forward and say that this is an amazing textbook. I began apsiring to learn Latin my Junior year of High School and I finally bought this book half way through my senior year. It has been slow going, but I began just teaching myself, and I have to say, this book was amazingly good in all regards even then. Having reached the later stages of introductory grammar for Latin now, I would vouch for this book in every regard. If you apsire to learn Latin, this is the ideal textbook, it is thorough and clear. Even from my limited experience I would say that there are few which compare. Valete!
Amazon.com SUCKS!

The book is not easy to understand.
Amazon.com backordered another order of mine without notifying me. Then, a day after I cancelled my order, they placed a pending charge on my Visa check card, overdrawing my account because I had to buy the book elsewhere. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT AMAZON.COM SUCKS!!!
