Excellent must-have for everyone with a love of language

Lots of fun!

I didn't know what to expect with Spanish crossword puzzles but this book is pretty neat. It builds from lesson to lesson and the slightly overlapping repetition helps me retain the vocab. Don't expect every word to be highly relevant though. For instance, in the first lesson you learn about ...

Fantastic

These puzzles are a fantastic learning aid. For the beginning Spanish learner, I highly recommend them. If you are advanced, that is, if you can already understand 80% of the Spanish in Spanish radio programs, then they are too easy for you.

Teresa Pijoan

Red Crane Books, 1999

In every religion, culture and language, the spirits of the dark side are as real as the spirits of the light. The simple sorrow of everyday life can trigger a visit from an evil spirit.
