4.0 out of 5 stars Turkish Grammar Books, 2 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Geoffrey Lewis's Turkish Grammar is without doubt, the best grammar book for Turkish. Note, however, that it is a reference grammar not a study book. This is not the book to buy if you want to actually learn Turkish, instead it is useful to dip into for the beginner, and to study for a more advanced students. Do not use this book on its own, use it as a supplement to a study book.
For those beginning, a good place to start is Turkish in Three Months, by Bengisu Rona (published by Dorling Kindersley / Hugo). This is clear, concise and straightforward and cheap (if it is not available from Amazon, try DK direct, or second hand with ABE, or you can buy it in Istanbul).
You will also need a good dictionary, you can't go wrong with a Redhouse (which are much cheaper if you buy them in Turkey).
Probably the best and most comprehensive grammar is Turkish Grammar by Geoffrey Underhill, but it is unecesarily expensive for the beginner.
For the beginner Bengisu Rona's Turkish in Three Months is best. Once you get through it you will know where you want to go with the language (if anywhere) and what your needs are.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for those who want to get beyond language tapes, 26 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I used this book while I was a visiting professor in Turkey. I needed to learn enough of the language to get around off campus (lectures were in English). I used language tapes and CD-ROMs, but soon ran into their limitations. I needed to learn the grammar of the language, so I could look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary. The book was very helpful in its intended purpose of allowing the English-speaking reader to learn the grammar of the Turkish language: how the various forms of words are built out of their roots, and how sentences are put together. Word order in Turkish is not like that in English, and Turkish uses infixes as well as suffixes, often making it impossible to find the root of a word in the dictionary unless you recognize the infixes.

The only shortcoming of the book is that it looks like photocopied typescript rather than print. However, this is a minor consideration when you need to learn the language.

I highly recommend it for those spending an extended stay in Turkey.
