The book is very helpful indeed, especially if you're learning alone. All grammatic points are well explained. From a short introduction on the history of the language till complex grammar structures. The use of the International Phonetic Alphabet helps a lot in the pronounciation (if you don't have acces to a native speaker). It's topics are not boring as many grammar books are, and although it is written in a very academical way, you'll be delighted to learn with the help of a direct, communicative and fun methodology.

This book is hard to find and is a rather large item. (It's better to photocopy it in reduction and travel with the photocopy). It's more like a reference grammar rather than something which teaches early learners. I personally found the many examples of complex sentences useful. Serious students of Albanian should go through it.
