Summary: Perfect Reference Book
Review: This is a fantastic book for intermediate-level German and above.
Excellent, clear examples are given throughout. Occasionally it may be difficult to locate specific areas, due to the Dewey-decimal-like system used to label sections.What makes this book so useful is that it will cover *every* grammar issue a student could possibly encounter in the classroom during a complete study of the language. I used this book starting in my 3rd year of college, and it has continued to be of tremendous value long thereafter. Excellent examples, exceptions to the rules... all clearly described.

Summary: great
Review: this is the absolute best grammar book that i have ever seen... but unless you already speak german very well, this book will be too advanced for you... if you already speak good german, but you want to further your knowledge, then this book has EVERYTHING, and in detail... and most of the examples DO have english translations. the ones that do not have them, are done solely for syntactic purposes, where a translation is not needed... anyway, if you are in a 200+ level college course in german, i suggest this book... ive read pretty much every page, and its priceless... absolutely fantastic.

Summary: Top of the line
Review: This is the definitive book used at most upper level universities (Oxford [UK] is the only one I can site). This is an intermediate/advanced book. You won't miss out on many rules of grammar from a book like this. Great reference and with the exception of having a German help you with grammar this will be the most complete on explanations.
Only bad thing is the people (Martin Durrell & graduate student)who were making this book were linguists and they love cross referencing everything.

Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: This isn't for beginners. It's like a Turabian or Strunk and White for German--in English. Easy to find specific parts of grammar you need help with, and also good to start from beginning and go to end. Can't recommend highly enough--wish I had this 30 years ago when I first studied German!
