I am a fluent Spanish speaker who taught the language at the University of
Iowa for a number of years and I hartily concur with the sentiment that
Spanish books are for all of us, even us gringos.

I do think, however, that having lists of new titles in English, Spanish,
and any other language added to the collection would be useful for searching
out in a more targeted way what one is looking for.

All the best,
Brian Miller
