"Outstanding older paperback text - unfortunately no newer edition, so your copy may look a bit like mine: dog-eared and slightly yellowed.
Essentially Miller scoured resources at the time to get a listing of 1100 of the most popular idioms he could identify, then he sent to various native speakers affiliated with embassy and consulates in Latin America to estimate frequency, correct for usage, and provide any regional notes on usage. The end listing was whittled to 1000 idioms, provided in an easy to read listing with one real-world example per meaning. There are little cartoons sprinkled throughout.
The listing is ranked by frequency, so it literally starts with the following:
#1 está bien or está bueno - All right, good, fine, correct, OK. Example: ¡Está bien, haz lo que quieras!
As you can tell, examples are everyday, using present and even an occasional imperfect subjunctive tense. For that reason, the text is best suited to second year or higher students of Spanish. Best studied daily in those in-between times: having coffee, waiting for something to download, whatever it is.
I bought mine for $0.25 at a used book store maybe twenty years ago, but it continues to impress me as one of the better no-nonsense Spanish texts I own. The other would have to be Cassell's Colloquial Spanish which I recently replaced, as the pages were literally falling out from use."
