The Big Yellow Book of German Verbs: 555 Fully Conjuated VerbsThe Big Yellow Book of German Verbs: 555 Fully Conjuated Verbs by Paul Listen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Disclosure:
Probably I would say that getting this book was the nice step I made toward learning the German form of Verb conjugation, I have it both on paperback and eBook.

Overview:
The Big Yellow Book of German Verbs, is designed to the English people who have the intention to learn the German grammar, especially in the Verb conjugation section, In fact the Book is designed to give more explanation with a deep focus on verb times, First the writer began with the explanations of verb tenses profile in the German Language, than after the big explanation he moves to the conjugation of verbs which goes alphabetically organized, Inside the verb conjugation there is a part devoted to the verb usage, with Anglo German translation of the verb mood. After the Verb conjugation, came the section of exercises in order to strengthen the Knowledge of the reader with the German verbs. And Finally came the verb glossary with an English Translation for each verb stated.

The Positive and Negative Aspects:
First of all this book focus only on one section of the German Grammar, which is Conjugation of the verb, and that the main positive aspect of it. Besides, the Book is designed in a modern form with a quite understandable manner, so that the reader will not get confused, with the bundle of verbs and their form endings. So there is no need to much focusing on the conjugation form, because everything is simplified.

My Personal Reaction:
I reveal that I get much information from this book concerning the verb tense of German language, I get the general background of tenses, and how the verb changed from one term to the other, but I am still in the process of deep learning for this nice language. Anyway the readers of this book will be sure to overcome the difficulties of verb conjugation.

Recommendations:
This book would be recommended to people whom English is the first or second language, beside those who want to get a complete familiarity with the German Grammar, It would be very nice to have this book if you are a Language Teacher.
