[erl · Rating 2 out of 5]

slightly interesting as a window into 1945, when it was written. This book lists Spanish idioms alphabetically and by country. Each idiom is explained with an analogous idiom in English and/or a description of the phrase's communicative intent, but no literal translation or explanation of the phrase is given. The trouble comes when the English idiom given is so dated that I, a native English speaker, have never heard it and have no idea what it means. For example, the analogous idiom "to hell and beyond" is offered several times. What does that mean? Furthermore, a handful of terms are listed which translate as "to be hungover." The idiom I am most familiar with "tener crudo," is not listed.
