Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish book

Question

I saw a post where a few seasoned members were talking about this book and thought it was very good, so I looked for it on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, etc.

I found it here on eBay for about $15 brand new to anywhere in the States:

I got one, but there are three left for this price.

Answer 1

The best book for learning Spanish! (until Laz gets his finger out and publishes his own, that is )

I'm on the list for the that one!! - billygoat, Aug 16, 2011

Right now, my favorite fantasy -- I'll take a dozen copies to send to friends as well! ;) - territurtle, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 2

$11.67 shipped at Amazon. I read it once then mine got stolen. Lot's of good stuff in there, but too much to memorize. You gotta read like a page or two a day at most to remember it.

Gracias.

Dang! I could have saved like $3! :( - Tosh, Aug 15, 2011

Answer 3

I got the Kindle version for 7.99. I love it!

Answer 4

Well, if you guys are up for it, I have uploaded the full PDF version of the book to megaupload, where you guys can download it for free. =)

Here is the link

Let me know if it works! I did a test download on my computer and it seems to be working perfectly for me.

Thank you, The download worked for me. :) - EL_MAG0, Jan 19, 2012

Hey, great!!! =D - NikkiLR, Jan 19, 2012

Could you by any chance email me the file, the website has been shut down by the FBI but I would very much like to get hold of a copy! Thanks in advance! - Jamo_Cartwright, May 21, 2012

Answer 5

I loved this book.

I especially appreciated the part that give alternatives to "coger" because I'm mostly in Latin American countries (where "coger" is to be avoided) and not Spain (where "coger" is part of everyday speech).

Answer 6

Yes, Amazon has many great books for taking your Spanish to the next level. But somehow it doesn't feel right if the price for shipping it to Europe exceeds that of the actual book. I guess this is pride messing with me. #&*$ PRIDE! Pride only hurts. It never helps. I gotta fight through that stuff. But since I still haven't finished my textbook on Conversational Spanish yet I guess there's no rush.

there's no shipping fee if you accept that it will take 3-5 days. Well, thats in the UK anyway. Mines on order. I'm gullible so I also bought a book on conversation spanish too lol. - billygoat, Aug 16, 2011

That sucks dude! I live in the U.S. and *I* still had to pay 3$ for shipping! - Fredbong, Aug 16, 2011

I guess Brits receive special treatment then. For me, the middle option was 8-16 working days for 13 euro shipping fine. The cheapest solution was like 5 weeks for 8 euro @.@ - S1r_Wakka, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 7

I greatly appreciated the book, but have been dying to ask some of our native speakers opinion about some of his observations.

Obviously, most makes sense and has already been written about extensively here on SD, but when I was in Uruguay, I found some things were not applicable there.

Answer 8

Thanks Tosh, and the other guys for the endorsements..... that's me off to Amazon for another couple of books

Answer 9

Everyone loves this book, it is like it is the holy grail of books on the subject.
