Russian Grammar (etc.) books

I've been looking for at some books to work in on Russian Grammar and vocabulary. I was wondering if anyone has seen/heard/used any of these. It's kinda tough trying to decide based on the reviews only as people seem to be really good at contradicting each other.

Roots of the Russian Language

The New Penguin Russian Coarse

Introductory Russian Grammar

Master The Basics Russian


I am trying to avoid the language courses that focus on a 'tourist' vocabulary. I really enjoy grammar (has always been one of my favorite subjects) and desire to get down to some genuine learning of (at least) the basics. I appreciate any input or other book recommendations.

Hello,

The book at this link seems to be a good and to the point one. IMO you must review it for the basics: http://www.ceng.metu.edu.tr/~e139461...%20Grammar.pdf

Best.

Thanks; I'll be sure to check it out! :)
