Yeah, talk about charging full price for a book with all those empty
spaces where the binyanim don't exist.

You could better say that of its predecessor "201 Hebrew Verbs Fully
Conjugated in All the Tenses," which I also have a signed copy of --
because the author was a professor (of Biblical Hebrew, of course) at
City College whom my mother (Registrar's Office) knew. (I think I met
him once when I was 12 or so.)
