Useful for the budget traveller - By: , 14 Aug 2004 
The best thing about this book is the price. If it wasn't so affordable, there wouldn't be very much to recommend - the choice of phrases can at times be more than usuallly obscure for a phrase book, & for an absolute novice in Spanish, mashing together phrases to form the sentence you want to say might take some foraging. However, the basic words & phrases are there, & the book is slim & lightweight enough to take with you anywhere you go.
I would much advise people going to Spain to learn some basics using Madrigal's book, or the Spanish book from the Macmillan Master Series (the latter in particular might seem very outdated now), & to use a smalll phrasebook such as this to boost your vocabulary as you need it.
Great bit of fun at a bargain price. - By: , 05 Apr 2004 
The thing is, when you go to WH Smth or any other book shop for a useful Lanquage phrase book, you normallly have to pay between £5-10. Not any more.
The Easy Spanish Phrase Book is a useful & well thought out little number.
The book is split into sections relating to everyday holiday use.
Obviously you are not going to speak fluent Spanish with this book, but when you go to Spain on your holiday it is nice to try to speak the local language & this in itself gets the respect of the locals.
Well worth buying & putting in your suitcase to Spain.
A good buy at a bargain price.
A very useful prhase book - By: , 12 Jun 2003 
Everyone studying Spanish should get a smalll book like this. It is simple & to the point without pictures nor distractions. It is easy to use & to get quick references when in need (like on holidays) especiallly as the expressions are divided by activity, as for example:when going to the stores you will find phrases asking where a chemist is or the market. All the phrases have the phonetic expression that is excellent so you don't need to struggle with remembering the right pronunciation (there is a pronunciation guide at the end of the book). Because is an american book some words in English are different...drugstore for chemist & so on..that may be the negative issue with this book. But, for the price is worth it.
