I believe I finally stumbled upon my "perfect" language book in a university library
yesterday. It was a book called "Complete German Course" by L. Russell, printed in the 60's. The book contains: * a comprehensive grammar sections with extensive examples (125 points of grammatical interest) * a section of around 50 pages with English sentences for translating into German (single sentences designed to test each point in the grammatical section) * a section of around 100 pages with English short stories, poems, etc. for translating into German * a section containing vast amounts of German literature with questions for comprehension following. * a two-way vocabulary listing of the ca. 2500 words learnt during the course. The thing that caught my eye with this book though was the first sentence in the author's introduction - "This is not an easy book.". If this book was hard in the 60's, I can only imagine the sheer terror it'll release on my poor new-age mind.
