Format:Paperback
The author's long experience of teaching at both school and university level is reflected in the great clarity of this book. It begins with an admirably clear glossary of grammatical terms. The emphasis is on the practical application of the constructions, which are illustrated with a wealth of examples. Practice sentences for translation into both languages enable the student to consolidate his knowledge. There are useful appendices on Roman money and dates and a clear guide to the pronunciation of Latin.
Grammatical tables take up far less space than in Kennedy but are nevertheless more than adequate. The lay-out of some of the tables of verbs could be improved - but this is a very minor fault in an excellent primer.

Format:Paperback
This book is not simply a few pages of reference tables, but a proper-sized concise book that aids learning in an easy-to-use manner. At 194 pages, it has sections explaining not only declensions and conjugations but also entire constructions and phrasing. I find it indispensable alongside my other materials.

As other reviewers have said, this is a great grammar resource: concise, clear and easy to use. It's also short enough to make it portable and is organised well.
My small criticisms, however, are that it doesn't contain a grammatical index which would have been handy. And that while it has practice sentences, it doesn't give you the translations as a check which rather evades the point.
It's always helpful to have a separate grammar from a learning text as explanations can vary in clarity. Recommended.
