I am looking for recomendations concerning the purchase of a Latin grammar - any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Does the age of the grammar matter? For example: A&G 1903 version vs the same 2001 by Pullins Co.?
Thanks!

The issue I am having is that my 'evening devotionals' w/ Lingua Latina are outstripping my knowledge gained via Wheelocks so I am constantly scrambling to keep up w/ LL, however I can. My reading of LL is also causing me to realize that I need a grammar, a centralized place to lookup info on Latin grammar.
Thanks,

If this is the case, I would really recommend the college companion. I bought it when I started teaching from Lingua Latina. It is quite good.
