To look forward to

[poli]

The only word I can think of is anticipar, which translates well in many cases, but often (not always) look forward to has a positive spin to it that anticipar seems to lack. So, how would you say: I look forward to
seeing you or I look forward to her new book ?

[Tomisimo]

I think anticiapar is one of the best translations, but you do have other options. I'm sure others will have lots of ideas as well.

I look forward to seeing you.
Estoy anticipando mucho verte.
Me ilusiona mucho la idea de verte.
Me ilusiona mucho el poder verte.
Estoy pensando con mucha ilusión en verte.

I look forward to her new book.
Espero con mucha anticipación su nuevo libro.
Estoy ilusionado de su nuevo libro.
Me emociona el esperar su nuevo libro.
Estoy emocionado de que su nuevo libro ya casi sale.
Me alegro porque su nuevo libro casi sale.

Look at my corrections from earlier and the corrections above. The -ing ending must be included on the verb.

[CrOtALiTo]

Then I have put the verb -ing in the sentences.
