Good things come in small packages.
Dutch grammar in 90 pages ? Well, Stern sticks to the important things you need to know about Dutch grammar and hardly wastes a word along the way. Word order, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, all the important things are explained here. If you ever get to the level where you need something with more depth you'll be speaking excellent Dutch. Why buy a big book that you might never need when there's this little gem at a bargain price ? Another plus, if you are like me and have only a fuzzy recollection of all those grammatical buzzwords, there's an appendix to explain them and give plenty of examples. Lastly, since it's a grammar and is likely to come in for lots of thumbing backwards and forwards, it's just as well that it's printed on tough paper and solidly bound. If only it was as easy to find as good a dictionary !

does what it says. but not for the faint hearted!
OK so this books does exactly what it says....and no more. It's rather like reading a car manual: It tells you how the engine works but doesn't teach you drive. It's not going to help you learn dutch but it might explain why Dutch is like it is. Take a Dutch course at the same time.
