This is a great book that discusses grammar in a easy to understand way and gives numerous examples. It also has alot of classical readings, caesar, ovid and virgil just to name a few. However, it seems to throw alot out to you and is not very good for someone teaching themselves latin (unless it is in supplement to another book). I am a student in my first year of latin and this book has been of great help to me. I reccomend it to all latin students as a reference (and a tool for impressing you latin teacher:)
