Good book, bad condition

Good book, bad condition
The book itself is useful for the course. However, the condition is very poor. When I purchased the book, the condition said it was lightly used but that is not true. Many of the exercises in the book have already been completed in pen which hinders my ability to see the exercise or practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, informative textbook

This was probably my favorite French textbook I've ever had. It explained things in a very clear, useful manner and covers a broad range of topics including vocabulary and conjugations. I often referred back to it when I had questions. I used this in an upper level college French course.

Wonderful book for intermediate to advanced French students. I highly recommend reading through it and working the exercises. The explanations are thorough and leave little room for confusion.

With anything used, you're taking a risk but this was just as described. There was light cover wear but other than that it was perfect. And honestly, as a school text book, I don't really care. And it came fairly quickly so I wouldn't fall so far behind!

I prefer a more straightforward and systematic form of teaching through a text. I don't like vague explanations through broad examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Advanced French Students Only

La Grammaire à l'oeuvre est un livre très compliqué - pas pour les étudiants intermédiaires. Je crois que le livre ne communique pas clairement les principes fondamentaux, parce qu'il se concentre sur des concepts advancé de grammaire. Probablement, vous comprendrez que je n'écris pas en français très bien, mais je suis un étudiant intermédiaire. Ce livre est trop complexe pour moi.

La Grammaire à l'oeuvre is a very complicated book - not for intermediate French students (like myself). I know that the book does not communicate clearly the fundamental principles of French grammar because it focuses upon advanced French grammar and diction concepts. Probably, if you are an advanced student of French grammar, you will understand that my French is pretty intermediate. This grammar book was too complicated to teach me what I needed to know.

However, I would argue that this book probably is a good book for advanced students of French grammar - students who want to study French grammar at the nuanced level of high school understanding.

Yet, I believe the Grammar Francaise by Jacqueline Ollivier 3rd edition is a better textbook for intermediate students of French grammar.

This book is very useful in it's format. I appreciate the appendices in the back helping you with all conjugations - including irregulars. This books is really useful and presents useful exercises. Not your generic, boring textbook (I wouldn't call it exhilarating either, mind you).
