Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is an interesting list. I own 50% of the Black-listed volumes.
Included in my collection is A.T. Robertson's substantial tome.
I must confess it has sat sadly idle most of the time of its existence in my possession, and Black himself seems to have some reservations about it. That it is a momentous work does not appear to be in question.
But in my labours and studying, I rarely [if ever] recourse to it.
So I'm curious: Is it momentous because it is momentous? Who finds it useful and to what purposes?
I think it was Mr. FWS who mentioned Trenchard and Mounce's Morphology. Far more used than Mounce's BBG once one has advanced past the first stage. Smyth is excellent but needs reformatting. One useful addition to Trenchard's lists would be [where practicable] indications [TINOS, TINI etc.] after verbs indicating the case of their objects...
A very bloated Brit after his 10th Thanksgiving...
