Amazon.com: English Grammar for Students of Russian: The Study Guide for Those Learning Russian (English grammar series) (9780934034210): Edwina Jannie Cruise: Books#_

I was assigned this book, oileanach, when I took a semester of Russian at college. I didn't need it, but I would indeed recommend it if the person is starting with little or no working knowledge of basic grammatical concepts, such as direct objects, indirect objects, possessives, verbs, transitive vs. intransitive. For me, the book was a cakewalk, but I can see its particular value for people with no previous exposure to these necessary concepts.

Yeah I looked at the preview on amazon for that book and it all looked like pretty basic stuff (although admittedly the preview was mostly taken from the beginning of the book).
