Main features of the Grammar include:clear explanations emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of Russian, such as numerals and verbs of motionextensive cross-referencing between the different sections. This is the ideal reference grammar for learners of Russian at all levels, from beginner to advanced.

This is a fantastic Russian grammar book. The best book in English I've seen on this subject. It's even better than Terrence Wade's "A Comprehensive Russian Grammar". The main advantage this book has is that one of the authors is Russian. Russian grammars written solely by English native speakers always have problems, even if they are supposedly proofed by Russian native speakers; it seems the Russians that participate in the editorial process never carefully proof the texts.The problems that other grammar books have are enough to take away your confidence in using the grammar book. Many mistakes are pretty obvious and impossible for me to imagine that despite what might appear in the foreward, no Russian native speaker could have seriously proofed the final edition. The mistakes I'm talking about are not typos but misunderstandings on the authors part regarding the language.My initial Russian language education was through films and TV shows so I have a pretty good grasp of everyday language and many of the mistakes in other grammars are really obvious misconceptions about certain words.The kindle version works great on my iphone. The kindle reader on the iphone is much better than the kindle reader you buy from Amazon. Now I have this great book with me everywhere I go and I also purchased the hardcopy.
