“Stunningly original and wonderfully realized, this book charts a clear path through the jungle of Spanish irregular verbs. Gonzalez and Bishop have pioneered an approach that transforms what many students find an impossible task into an intellectual pleasure. As I looked over the charts which provide the center of their approach, I found myself wondering why no one thought of this before.”
