Just my opinion: My late Greek teacher loathed interlinears. One of the
first things he took care of that first day was this question: So, how many
of you have already purchased a good quality interlinear? (The question was
misleading as to get an accurate response). More than half had raised their
hands, thank goodness I wasn't in the batch. He then said "Find somebody
and give it to them. Don't sell it, you want to be able to sleep at night."
Just his and now my take :)
