I have bought a small number of books to learn Romanian recently. Some are really useful, others won't help much. My conclusion is: buy a good full course book (the one from Assimil is great, and has an option with audio from the lessons spoken by native Romanians), this grammar, a good dictionary, and you will have everything needed to start learning Romanian by yourself.
Good for a Grammar Book!

Grammar teachers were never known for their ability to communicate intelligently. So I wasn't expecting much. But actually this book is very useful for an intermediate Romanian language student such as myelf. I recommend it ...not that you have a lot of other choices in the US marketplace. -Christian

As far as I know, this book is not copyrighted, with the exception of the front cover. It was written by an employee of the State Department, Foreign Service Institute as part of her job function, making it public domain material. She did not give permission for Hippocrene to publish the book, they published it because it was in the public domain. There's no reason that the contents shouldn't be made available for the public to see.
It is a good supplement to another course.

This book is chocked full of information. This book is not intended to be a phrase book and it's entire emphasis is the unique sentence structure that the Romanian language requires.I recently had one of the books I authored translated into Romanian by the Sibiu Monetary Financial Commodities Exchange. This was a book that one of the translators recommend to me and I was not disappointed.
