I used this text for a while. I found the lack of accents irritating and
got in the habit of looking up new words in the Gingrich and Danker
"Shorter Lexicon" and putting in my own accents in the first
appearance of a word.
I got the impression that he was afraid of frightening away students if
he mentioned grammar. Of course he eventually had to, and I was
mentally using the usual terms anyway, and I suppose that for present
day students, it might be better to let them get a bit of a start before
making it look too much like work.
One thing about this text I especially like is the exercises. Whenever
he presents anything new, he gives several examples of it in use, then
immediately several translation exercises. These are a great help in
learning new material. Of course there the usual chapter-end exercises
as well.
