I'd take a look at it if they included an audio CD. Barron's idioms series also does not include any audio. It's a shame.
Barron's 501 Spanish verbs w/ audio looks interesting because of the audio portion and the nice, large print. The 1-hour audio is not useful to me (they did not advertise the length) but learners may appreciate the explanations and example sentences. I've flipped through the book a couple of times to check how well I can "flex" my verb muscles. This is my first 501 book - ever. It's not bad.

I have used the Spanish one. Cannot be better in terms of clarity, layout, size of print. Just very pleasant.
The latest Collins easy learning series grammar book is also good, but the various font sizes used are too small.
