A Dictionary of First Names (Oxford Paperback Reference)

I also bought this because of rave reviews but turned out disappointed. Not good for naming babies but just for the history of old fancy names you only read in books. If you want to just look up the history of an old name, okay then use this book. But if like most people buying name books you want to name a baby born in this century look for another book.

Greek to GCSE: Part 2

I am choosing to examine both Pt 1 and Pt 2 in this review.

The Greek to GCSE books are both accessible and user-friendly. They contain the main parts necessary for an appreciation of Classical Athenian or Attic Greek, the language of Plato, Aristotle and Euripides, amongst a gorgeous treasury of others. Given the wealth of Attic literature (history, philosophy, religion, poetry and drama) a reasonable linguistic investment and decent dictionary will open up the doorway into the most fascinating ...

Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek

It does what it says on the title page. It isn't Ancient Greek for Dummies; it's a concise grammar of Athenian greek with some nods towards other (e.g. Homeric) dialects.
Reference is generally easy, thanks to decent indexes. Rather less than half the text is devoted to declensions and conjugations etc. and the other, bigger part to the various constructions. There is even a section on easily confused words.
Incidentally, it is the course grammar used by the Open University for one of its courses. ... Read More:

...there was one book you could turn to which would take you through the entirety of human history in an entertaining as well as educational manner. Well guess what: there is, and 'A Little History..' is it. Don't be dissuaded by the fact that this is nominally a children's book. Unless you have devoted years to the study of history, you will finish this book a more knowledgeable person than when you started.
And for those who are put off by the size of the text, the audio version is available and beautifully read ... Read More:
