	Parry :: Spanish Phrase Book "... This book tells you how to say all those things that the usual basic guides to language don't: how to buy a lightbulb with a bayonet fitting, for instance:) And it does it all with wit, humour and a sound knowledge of what it is the visitor to Spain or the ex-pat really needs to be able to say and understand. You want to chat about football with the Spanish chap next to you on the bus? This is your book. How to find the bar at the local fiesta? Yep, got that too.

	Buying a Home in Spain 2005 "... Before I purchased this book, I was worried about biased opinions. How wrong I was. This book tells you the facts straight and simple. What I particularly liked was the way the author gave the advantages and disadvantages in most situations. All aspects are described in complete detail so that you wont miss anything. There is more information in this book than you could possibly hope for. Everything from legal contracts to local climate. I had read a previous review of a prior edition of this book where the reviewer wrote that after reading this book, he was scared off the idea of buying property in Spain. Personally speaking, a good book is a book that tells you what you need to hear, not what you might necessarily want to hear. I would highly recommend this book as it gives very sound advice and a lot of facts. .."

I purchased the 8th edition and hope there will be many more to come. ..."
	Sunflower :: Walking in Andalucia (a Sunday Times Book of the Week) It is said that 'if you are not excited by Andalucia, you have no heart'. At the end of one of their hikes, while writing this book, as the authors sat on a hilltop basking in the sun and watching eagles frolicking above, they shared the unspoken thought that life doesn't get much better than this.

	DK :: Top Ten Andalucia " . . Considering this guide covers such a wide area of Andalucia it still manages to recommend some of the best of everything that anyone would hope to see in this part of Spain.

	Gerald Brenan :: South from Granada A classic book by a British author honoured in Spain (particularly Alhaurin el Grande), this book has to be a must for anyone living or travelling in the southern most parts of Spain.

Brenan tells a tale of village life,and of the people who lived there, and records their folk-lores, customs and history; and also of the visitors to his home, Virginia Wolf, Dora Carrington, Lytton Strachey and Augustus John, and of their connections within the Bloomsbury group.
