had this in my library for a long time, finally taking the plunge, overall very good, some of the explanations for basic concepts, e.g. Nominative case etc is a little unclear, but that maybe just a communicative disconnect on my part. Very well laid out, i am looking forward to tackling my GNT or other writings
