It's nice to have a book that comes with an answer key for a change. Too many of these come with questions but no way to determine if you got it right. This one could use a pronunciation guide but other than that it's pretty good.

This text/workbook is just what you need for a structured, grammar-oriented introduction to German. After completing this text you will understand the structure of the German language equivalent to a two-semester college course. The text is self-contained and the grammar is introduced in a user-friendly way requiring no previous exposure to grammatical terms. This book does not cover pronunciation; a good program of self-study would be to go through this book to cover language structure and the Michel Thomas German course to learn the spoken language. As is the case generally the case for volumes in the Routledge language series, the thoroughness and clear presentation of the content outweighs the somewhat steep price and will make your purchase an excellent value.
