Summary: NO ACCENTS!
Review: Although this book covers in a thorough manner the various tenses and moods of most Italian verbs, it suffers from a serious flaw. Unlike Spanish, which has definite rules for marking the accent when it doesn't fall on the penult (the second to the last syllable), Italian has no such rules. In the case of the antipenult (third from the last) or the fourth from the last syllable, there is no way for the user of this book to know if these syllables are stressed. I recommend that in the next edition of this work that the authors indicate the stressed vowel using a bolded vowel. Consider the indicative present tense of the verb: abitare (to live, to dwell).abito abitiamo
abiti abitate
abita abitano Since I don't have the capability to bold the vowels for this review, I can only point out that for the following three forms, abito, abiti, and abita, the accent is found on the antipenult. In the case of the form, abitano, the accent is found on the fourth from the last syllable. This accent distribution holds for several other verbs as well, e.g., desiderare, indicare, etc. There is absolutely no way for the user of this book to have a clue where the accent falls. P.S. If anyone is interested in this, I just completed a grammar of the Sicilian language entitled Introduction to Sicilian Grammar. Since Sicilian verbs also share the problem of determining on which syllable the accent falls, I bolded the accented vowel to indicate proper pronunciation.

Summary: An indispensable tool
Review: Beginners will find this book constantly useful. More advanced students will refer to those pesky irregular verbs which they seem not to use quite often enough to memorize. The content, layout and fonts are well designed for fast reference. A wealth of indices is provided to extend the book's reach, and these should be consulted before concluding that the book does not have your verb, particularly the index "One Thousand Italian Verbs Conjugated like the 501 Model Verbs."

Review: I bought this book about 3 years ago and it has been a great help and stays very near to me since day one! I have since bought the Spanish version and have recommended them to everyone. I only wish they had a book with more verbs and tenses than just the 501! I totally recommend it!

Summary: OK reference, but lacking . . .
Review: I'm disappointed that the first verb I looked up, "provare" (to try) was not in this book. How many other verbs will be missing? I'm looking for another definitive guide to italian verbs now, or maybe a new edition with some modifications?

Summary: Best for Beginners
Review: The definitive guide to Italian verbs. If you are taking Italian lessons and need a book on Italian verbs I don't think you can find another as comprehensive as this. It's like the old TV commercial "verbs-this is all we do and we do it well." Keep in mind this is a reference book for Italian verbs and not a reader.
