I was initially looking for a book of exercises I could use with my Anglo-Saxon students to save me the trouble of designing in-class exercises. This book, unfortunately, was not it. It is merely an OCR scan of a much older text. The modern editors for unfathomable reasons scanned the material in tiny print and formatted it into three thin columns of text on each page, using the most sparing of indentation for paragraph breaks. Charts and diagrams in the original text also get crushed down unhelpfully to fit the resulting tri-linear blob.
Equally irritating, the original version (before this edition) had a useful index referring to page numbers in the old version, but the lazy modern editors (or rather simple scanners) did not update it to reflect page numbers in the current layout--preferring simply to delete the index altogether.
The result was an unaesthetic, barely readable layout that combined the worst of "wall of text" reading with the worst possible usability. Even the OCR transcription was of dubious quality. I'm sticking with Mitchell and Robinson's _A Guide to Old English Grammar_ instead.
