This review is from: A Sanskrit Grammar for Students (Kindle Edition)
I found the text to suffer from poor OCR conversion from the original work. To be of value, the author or publisher should proofread the book.

This review is from: A Sanskrit Grammar for Students (Kindle Edition)
I agree with the previous reviewer; I 'bought' the full book (as it was free) and found it so full of garbled text & typographic garbage as to make it, for novices, worth its price: nothing.

Best basic Sanskrit Grammer book for students,,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sanskrit Grammar for Students, New Updated Edition (Paperback)
I have tried several books on Sanskrit reportedly for beginning students. Most of these books are difficult. Of course, Sanskrit is difficult. This book is a reasonably easy (from simple to more complex) grammer book. Remember, there is nothing better than a class room situation for learning Sanskrit, unless you are sitting under a tree along Mother Ganges with a Hindu scholar. Amen.
