This book is exactly what it says it is- 201 verbs fully conjugated - with a few extras.
It is a very good reference point, and is very helpful to the beginning student when learning to conjugate verbs. This book can be used as a reference point on how verbs are conjuated in the different tenses, and can be used as well to check your work. Each verb is given it's own page, with the Present, Past, Future, Conditional, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Future Perfect, and Conditional Perfect tenses. Some verbs also have information on their Indictive Passive tense.
Additionally, this book includes a glossary of 1500 additional verbs (with those listed in the main part of the book bold-faced), a small section (24 pages) on basic grammer related to verb use, information on verb-classes (weak, strong, irregular) in Dutch and a verb index arranged alphabetically by the English translation.
Highly recommended!

I delayed buying this book for as long as possible as I wasn't happy with the tiny font and the partial entries of verbs. But what can you expect from a book that has a copyright dating from 1979? I considered myself lucky that there was a Dutch verb book at all.
Not impressed with shortage of entires and the shortcut lists at the back of a lot of verbs you *wish* were explained in their entirety. Other languages get 501 verbs: I know NL is a tiny country; looks like they have a verb book to match!
Other languages' verb books in the same series by Barron's also give lots of awesome example sentences at the end of the entries, to see the idiomatic or everyday usage of the verb. Not so here.
I was also concerned about the seemingly outmoded language potential, given the lack of updates/editions. For example, in the forms which are optional (and shown in parentheses), are those forms more common nowadays? Or less?

My textbooks for the other languages I have studied always included a conjugation guide to most common irregular verbs at the back. When I discovered that my Dutch textbook lacked this feature, I invested in this book. Although my Dutch-English dictionary includes a brief listing of irregular verb formations in the beginning, the format of this book is significantly easier to understand. I particularly use it when I need to double-check my spelling (a feature for which my dictionary is nearly useless). I'm afraid that I'll have to disagree with the previous reviewer's assertion that public humiliation is the only way to learn (Dutch) spelling. I am a native English speaker and I still use my Webster's Unabridged nearly every day; there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do the same in Dutch.

A vegy good reference for a beginner.
Being unable to buy such a book in Russian I decided to look for a book in English. I found it to be a good reference of the most popular Dutch verbs. Read more

Can't learn without it!
This book is a must have! The Dutch language is difficult enough without having to figure out how to conjugate the verbs.
