Actually, this is a workbook that goes along with Hammer's German Grammer and is pretty much useless without it. The exercises and drills presume that you are following along in some book that has explanations of the rule of the grammar you're working on. While the answers are in the back of the book, there are no explanations and no definitions. To go through this workbook without the grammar book would take someone fluent in the language--and they wouldn't need the workbook.

This book is perfect together with "Hammer's German Grammar." It's really best to buy both books together. This book incorporates all the new changes from the German Spelling Reform. It's an intense grammar book with lots and lots of practice. This book is perfect for the advanced German student.

This workbook is certainly best used in conjunction with the "Hammer's German Grammar and Usage" manual. The coverage is complete, the exercises thorough, but not overburdensome in number. This will keep the gears for all but the fluent turning.

This book seems to cover the intracies of German grammar well. I am however disturbed that 'Practicing' on the front cover uses a 'c'instead of an 's'. I notice this spelling mistake in the title was corrected inside the book. I hope the German is more accurate than the English.

I would dearly love to review this book. Sadly, it has still not arrived three months after I ordered it, and I have just received another email informing me that delivery has been pushed back by a further month. I can only assume that this book is so good that it is perpetually sold out.
