"Comprehensive this indeed is, with frequent attention to
substandard, variant and regional usages, to developments currently
observable, and of course to the language of Spanish-speaking
America. The exposition is admirably organized with clear typefaces
on uncluttered pages, and is mercifully jargon-free so as to be
accessible to all categories of user."
--Colin Smith, Emeritus Professor of Spanish, University of
Cambridge
"A Comprehensive Spanish Grammar is an excellent reference book
which I can wholeheartedly recommend for use by English-speaking
users of Spanish, including those teaching it as a foreign
language. This book is well worth acquiring for a variety of
categories of English-speaking people who are mastering or have
mastered the basics of Spanish."
--Neile A. Kirk, University of Melbourne, Australia
