Review

It will be indispensable for all English-speaking serious students of the Dutch language. - Signpost, April 2000

I have long sought a book which was able to clearly, though not necessarily simply, describe the Dutch language in a logical and comprehensible manner. Amazon.co.uk reviewer

An excellent reference grammar with clear explanations that do not require an in-depth understanding of generic grammatical terms. Amazon.com reviewer
