Format:Paperback
I first saw a copy of this book in a charity shop and bought it. Then it proved so useful that I bought the updated version with the CD. It does the biz. The verbs it doesn't include, it covers by using a verb of similar behaviour. It's a thick book, not one to be transported lightly but it's worth carrying to anywhere that you may be learning French. I won't be without it.

What More Can I Say?
5 July 2003
Format:Paperback
This is the ultimate French verb book. It's got every verb conjugated in every sense. It also rates the top 50 most used verbs, a very useful feature. It's very nicely packaged, and in my opinion better than 501 Verbs, although I have both and both are truly great resources.

Bulky format; Great Reference Guide
14 Jun 2004
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The only thing I don't like about the Big Blue Book of French verbs is its bigness; the 8 X 11 format combined with the book's thickness, makes the volume a chore to carry around especially if you are usually packing a dictionary, textbook and notebook to complete your foreign language study arsenal.
Otherwise, the book is great, consisting of introductory pages that explain the simple and compound tenses and provides usage examples.
The bulk of the text devotes a full page to each of the 555 verbs with full conjugations and examples of regular and idiomatic usage. Verbs which fall under the TOP 50 include an extra page of examples and related words.
ALong with drills to help test your knowledge of verb forms, the text concludes with three indices: an English-French verb list, and Irregular Verb Form cross-referenced by infinitive and a list of over 2500 verbs with their English translation, cross-referenced to their verb model.
Its bulk intimidates, but this book is a great reference guidel its dimensions may make it cumbersome to carry about, but it is a worthy desk aid.

Wonderful Soure
6 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
I was searching for a book to help me with my French classes and was very pleased to find this one. The price was so unbelievable that I had to order two. I would recommend this book to anyone as a source for learning French. Yes, the book is not small, but if you are a college student, carrying books that are huge is nothing unusual. It is a fantastic buy!!!! I'm thrilled that I bought it.
