I remember the evening I was on this wonderful website, trolling its pages, without any real purpose, actually, but perhaps with a secret hope of happening on a good French book. If the truth be told, this trick, if one may call it one, has always worked for me like a treat: I log into the website, once again allow myself to get carried away by its content and beauty, breeze through the fetching smorgasbord of books, stop short at one that has caught my fancy and end up buying it. The days that follow the buy are of immense anticipation and even a soupçon of anxiety: how soon will I get it? In what condition will it be? etc. But, then again, when all is said and done, there's certainly no doubting the quality, just as their range, of the books at Amazon.com.
And so it was that that particular afternoon, I happened to come across this ostensibly modest, little book on French grammar: Berlitz's French Grammar Handbook by Alan Moys. Don't let its appearance deceive you, though, for it's an atomic bomb of a book, packed with such linguistic power and magic that it's bound to make any reader of any degree of scholarship or proficiency in the language possessive of it, ''unletgoably'' posseissive, at that. What's more, this handbook also doubles as a handy ready reckoner which, in my opinion, therefore is best used for revision- for a good brush-up, if you like, whatever the time, situation or occasion. It's a real wonder at all how such a handbook can be so impossibly good, so productive!! Perhaps the only downside is the limited use of examples to explain the concepts- surely, the book could have done better with more examples.
I, however, recommend this book very highly; this is for any avid and sincere learner of French grammar and the language at large.
