"The importance of this book ... is indisputable... Its usefulness will apply to an audience far beyond students of Spanish; it will, in fact, become a companion text, like the MLA Style Manual, to a larger audience of users running the gamut from bilingual writers, i.e., fiction writers and journalists, to editors who are unsure about proper usage." --Dick Gerdes, Professor and Chair of Modern and Classical Languages, George Mason University
