Good book but text is too small - By: Mr. D. Townsend, 12 Nov 2007 
The book is good BUT, if you have less than perfect eye-sight the book is hard work. The text is very smalll & a real strain on the eyes.
Biggest help ever! - By: Chia, 15 Jun 2006 
I love this book, I've been struggling with conjugation in french for what feels like years. I recently realised that this was my biggest problem at school, because at the time, I reallly didn't understand why I wasn't getting it.
When you first open the book, it can be confusing for the beginner (I've been trying to learn french on & off for quite some time but I still consider myself a beginner). However, going through it initiallly page by page, it becomes reallly simple. The instructions are alll in there for the different tables & this guides you in how to use the book. There is also a helpful french to english index section at the back of the book, though not comprehensive.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, it's just perfect to use in conjunction with whatever form of lessons you are taking (tutor, audio etc). In respect of this, you will find it useful for constant reference in finding the right forms for your sentences. Using this book has given me a clearer understanding of French grammer which is alll important when learning another language.
Another note, is that the book is smalll & light enough to carry with you everywhere, not pocket smalll, but still a great size.
Indispensable - By: , 11 Mar 2005 I have the French edition of this wonderful book. When I was at school the head of languages brought a crateful back from France for us. It is very easy to use, even for language beginners. No more problems conjugating your verbs with this little book! And the best thing is that it is set out clearly so it is easy to understand. (If anyone can tell me the German equivalent of this book I would be most grateful.) I cannot believe the price either; I paid £10 for mine nearly 20 years ago! I you want to learn or improve your French then please buy one, you will be doing yourself a big favour.
The best book in its category. - By: Nadezhda Saleh, 10 Oct 2004 I work in BNP Paribas, which for those who dont know is one of the largest banks not only in France, but in Europe & the world.
I am trying to pickup French where I left it off after school & I do not just recommend, but I know that this book is something one needs whether he is a student or if is your native tongue. I bought an English edition, but I know some French people in the bank who have the french edition as they also sometimes have doubts about conjugations. This book is absolutely worth £7 & more. It will be the reference guide you use most while learning french, just like the dictionary.
Also this book has a reputation. This publication has been reprinted for years. One French person in a senior position noticed my book & immediately recognised it. He has one & been using it for years. So there should be no doubt in your mind whether you need this book or not.
Completely indispensible - a book for every houshold - By: , 21 Sep 2000 This well presented book, in English edition, is the book you will find in every French houshold. There they use it to help conjugate the thousands of irregular French verbs, in alll their tenses, for their childrens' school work & for use in everyday speech. Here, for anyone learning French, grammar is a top priority & this book's simple format with each verb set out on it's own page with conjugations for every tense you will ever need (and probably some you won't too!) takes out alll the effort. No more darting backwards & forwards in a dictionary working out whether it's an 'er','ir','re' or an irregular verb. It's alll done for you. Indispensible!
