The third edition strengthens the few areas where the second edition was weak and adds some useful new features to make it more adaptable to different teaching approaches. Most importantly it is succinct and well designed, so that students can reasonably complete it during a standard two-semester course. The new edition should be extremely attractive to both faculty and students. It is unreservedly the textbook I plan to adopt the next time I teach first year Greek.' - Michael G.
