Summary: A Good Overview Text
Comment: Definitely a good book to give you an overview of the essentials of Dutch grammar. If you need something a little meatier, though, I highly recommend "Dutch: A Comprehensive Grammar" by Bruce Donaldson (Routledge Press). The price difference is significant, but you get what you pay for.

Summary: Essential.... really?
Comment: This book claims to be 'All the grammar really needed for speach and comprehension...', however, there is much more information needed than what is presented in this book.
"Essential Dutch Grammar" is a good primer and introduction to Dutch Grammar- as much as is possible in 100 pages. It includes information on Spelling, Word Order, Negation, Articles & Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, Possessives & Possession, Demonstrative adjectives & Pronounes, Pronouns, Verbs, Conjuctions, Prespositions, Telling Time, Idiomatic Constructions and an Appendix.
Each topic is presented first with an introduction, then with the applicable grammar rule followed by examples. This format is more user-friendly than other Dutch Grammar texts on the market.
I'd reccommend this book to beginning students and native speakers who want to brush up on their grammatical skills (for example, those speakers who have emigrated out of Holland/Belgium) - especially since the price is right.
If you'd like a more in-depth study of grammar, then look for "Dutch: A Comprehensive Grammar" by Bruce Donaldson, but also be willing to shell out quite a bit more money.
Rating: 5
Summary: Less is More
Comment: This book is 109 pages of solid info. Henry Stern knows Dutch. He also knows English - as evidenced by his readability. I've bought my share of Dutch course materials - CDs, tapes, dictionaries, etc. "Essential Dutch Grammer" is a great bargain.
