I will certainly keep that in mind - I thought it was limited to Latin/Greek books.
I’ve been reading Athenaze the last two days, and quite frankly, I’ve been pretty disappointed with it so far. I’m comparing it to Pharr’s Homeric Greek text, which I have also been reading the past two days. There’s not enough grammar explaination to my liking, but perhaps that will change as I read further in Athenaze?? I’m not certain. I enjoy the Pharr book so far, and I do not have anything negative to say about it.
In light of this, I decided to add to my Greek textbook collection. 
I purchased some more books tonight via Textkit–
Greek: An Intensive Course by Hansen & Quinn;
Introduction to Attic Greek by Mastronarde; and for fun,
The Iliad I & II from the Loeb Classic Library
I don’t know why I find Greek so mesmerizing. I do look forward to tackling the challenges that it will surely bring. If anyone has ideas or experiences with other Greek grammar books or readers, please let me know.
Perhaps a note in the textkit store area about ANY purchases made to Amazon through textkit would generate more commissions? Just a thought.

Well… since textkit has the two reference grammars (by Goodwin and Smyth) and you already purchased excellent books already, it’s going to be hard to find other good reference books or textbooks… I haven’t taken a look at these books but they appear to be very good books from what I read about them…
Homeric Grammar by D.B. Monro
Reading Course in Homeric Greek by Raymond Schoder (3 volumes)
Monro’s book is supposedly a reference grammar. Schoder’s book is sort of a textbook/reader akin to Pharr’s book and instead of using the Iliad, it uses book 1 of the Odyssey. However, it’s very very difficult aquiring the first volume of Schoder’s book.

Dictionaries… Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect by Richard Cunliffe. There is another homeric dictionary, but that one is a translated dictionary from the German original. I can’t say how decent that dictionary is because I haven’t bothered to look at it yet. …People recommend the Intermediate Liddell and not the full unabridged version for some reason… But since cost is a factor to me and I’m a begginer, I would buy the Intermediate Liddell. To complicate your dictionary purchase even further, there’s supposed to be a brand spanking new Intermediate dictionary coming out in 2007… http://www.classics.cam.ac.uk/glp/
Of course there are many, many links. I highly recommend perusing all the pages and pages of links in the “Outside links” forum.
Oh yes, I forgot about Vox Graeca by Allen. If you care about Greek pronunciation, this is the book to start with. Most textbooks and reference grammars never give me enough phonetic information and they are usually vague. Although, Vox Graeca has some issues too, I’m sure fellow textkiters will help you with them.
Yeah, that lowercase “xi” goes on and on, doesn’t it; it looks like a broken spring! I’ve Pharr’s Homeric Greek as I mentioned, and in addition a very kind soul recently gave me White’s First Greek Book.
I’m studying Latin on my own, mostly with Hans H. Orberg’s Lingua Latina (the first-year book Familia Roma and its supplements, Exercita Latina, Latine Disco, and Colloquia Personarum). I tried Wheelock’s Latin but it wasn’t for me!
I wish you the best of luck in your studies as well, Eris, and you have so much energy that I’m certain I’ll be asking you for help more often than the other way around.
haha homeless that may well be whiteoctave’s notorious LEXICON!
