What are some good books that focus exclusively on grammar and written proficiency for beginning to approximately high intermediate (A1-B2)? The FSI course is good for
drilling speaking, but insofar I can barely write or read texts since I lack enough
knowledge and practise of grammatical concepts. Any text or text-cum-workbook grammar
books are what would be most helpful. I see books like this from an internet search, I
am not sure if anyone has used them:
Essentials of Swedish Grammar
Essential Swedish Grammar
Swedish: An Essential Grammar
Teach Yourself Swedish
Swedish: A Comprehensive Grammar
Of course, CEFR-tiered textbooks would be nice, but I am unsure where to find those, or if they are even necessary with the aforementioned materials. In Blackwell's for
example, I did not remember seeing Swedish textbooks.

Swedish: A Comprehensive Grammar is great (except it has no chapter on phonology!),
I have it in both print and kindle format.

I think Emme found some cefr linked advanced resources but I'm not sure where she published the list. I think it was in her 2013 log.

I suppose Cavesa’s referring to the conversation we were having here.
I hope this helps.
