1 BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR OUR TYPICAL NOT-VERY-INTERESTED IN READING BOYS, AGED 11 AND 9 AND THEY ENDED UP FIGHTING OVER IT AND ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER ON THE SCHOOL TRIP OVER THEIR DIFFERENT RECALL OF THE FASCINATING FACTS THE AUTHOR HAD FOUND FOR THEM.

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.

Stories From Today's Russia (Language - Russian)

I wasn't to sure about how to interpret 'intermediate' in the book's description, but fortunately it turned out to be at about the right sort of level (for me, at least).
The stories make use of different verb tenses and employ a reasonable range of grammatical constructions. As well as more common, widely used words there was quite a bit of vocabulary that I hadn't come across before. It also has a few comprehension questions, in Russian, after each chapter to provide a bit of focus and to test yourself.

This is an excellent reference book if you are a translator.
