Annotated Instructor's Edition for Arriba!: Comunicaci N y Cultura

Sets up student well to learn spanish. Has pictures of celebrities such as Shakira inside, and is a great reference when used in combination with the online program. Expensive, but what books aren't?

Hello, I was pleased with my purchase. I purchased the Arriba:Communication y culture spanish book and workbook. The condition of the book was just as the seller said it would be. I had only one problem, it took a while for me to receive the book. Overall, I had a good experience with this seller and I would buy again!

The item was just as the seller described. I was happy with the product; it was no better and no worse than described in the seller's description. I am pleased with my purchase.

I used this book in my college-level Spanish class. I think it is well-written, informative, and logically put together. My concern regarding some of the other reviews is that this book is not meant to teach someone Spanish without the course it is meant for. There are books out there for that purpose, but they are not textbooks. I have taken three (3) other intro to Spanish classes and I have found this book the easiest to follow. It is true that the dictionary in the back is lacking quite a bit, but any serious Spanish student will have a Spanish-English dictionary anyway. Maybe I just got lucky and had a great teacher who used this book as it was meant to be used. Maybe I'm just great at Spanish (ha-ha). Either way, I would not disregard this text when used properly.

The workbook arrived quickly. It was in the good condition of a used workbook, as promised. I am very satisfied.
