Great resource
500 verbs! I did search for one verb they didn't have. Expanded information and sentences for more highly used verbs. Great to use at home. A little big to carry around. Grammatical information and quizzes.

kindle version
Should have paid attention to Glenn's review from a few months ago. The kindle version does not work well at all. Glad I was able to return it. The hard copy is excellent.

Mandatory for French Study
By now, I think these books on verb conjugations are widely recognized as essential for the study of all Latin languages. Still, I was surprised when, in my FIRST class with my French professor, he demanded that I conjugate irregular verbs like go and be. When I protested that I didn't speak French, he said, "say excuse me." EscusAy moi, I fumbled. Parle vouz francais? We? "You know enough," he concluded. "Now repeat the conjugations after me for go. "You'll need this for simple future tense. Do you have 501 French verbs?" I ordered it from Amazon, but it hasn't arrived yet. "Good. Now continue!"
This book wasn't required for the class, but apparently, it was something the teacher assumed students would acquire.
Needless to say, I was more than a bit dazed. When I studied Spanish, it wasn't until the 6th week we started conjugating verbs and even then, we started with regular verbs, keeping the irregulars until later. Perhaps this teacher has a point -- it's a little hard to say much when you can't say am, are, was, were, be, been, is or I'll go in the target language. It's as good a place as any to start, I suppose.

kindle 2 sample doesnt show what most people buy the book for.
i downloaded the kindle 2 sample of this book. i was skeptical that it would be formatted well. i scrolled through sample expectimg to see what the verb conjugations would look like on the kindle 2. the sample did not include a single page showimg what the conjugations would look like. i will not buy this book at this tim eon kindle. i would guess the conjugation page is just a blurry jpeg. sorry for short choppy sentences. writimg on kindle

Useful!
I had a book like this many years ago and lost it; I am glad I found it again. Even though I am not fluent in French, this book helps me a lot, makes my reading and writing easier...
