Having recently started learning Spanish without previous knowledge, I met several different media to help me in this task, in addition to a weekly private lesson. Spanish for Dummies is simple at first, well built, very complete. You can navigate chronologically or according to its own priorities. Rich vocabulary, very clearly and simply explained a grammatical point of view, this book manages to make complex concepts easy. The ordinary alphabet transcription of the correct pronunciation is valuable for those (like me) who have never grasped the intricacies of phonetics. Each verb has presented its conjugation table. The chapters cover a very wide range of situations. In short, this is a book that I recommend very strongly, which could have replaced all by himself several of my other books. It does not present itself as successive lessons and is therefore less intimidating, is consulted according to his desires and needs. Very very happy with this book.
