Best that I've Seen

I'm an intermediate student of Italian who has dabbled with the language for 15 years. I've looked at several verb reference texts over the years and I have never found one better than this one. I really like the print size and format for each of the 200 sample verbs. The verb list (3,000 verbs...with an Italian to English translation for each verb) in the back of the book ties each of these 3,000 Italian verbs to one of the sample 200 verbs in the body of the book...so the book is easy to use. I also like the compact size (I had this book with me for a six week trip to Italy this past fall). One knit-pick that I have heard about this book is the lack of an English to Italian listing of verbs. I think most people possess and carry an English/Italian dictionary along with a verb reference book...so I do not view this as a valid criticism. I am on my second version of this book. I wore out a copy of the 1994 edition.

I like this verb book very much; very useful so far.

This is a good little verb book. There are 200 verbs fully conjugated and a list of 3,000 more which refer to particular conjugated verbs as models. This is a good book for the price and includes examples of how these verbs might be used in typical speech, phrases, idiomatic expressions and it lists words sharing the same origin as the verb.
