[B-Greek] Mounce versus Croy

Yes. That's about right. I used Croy at some point in my past. It is poorly made and its not useful for self-learners--though that relates more to the lack of an answer key than the content. Its use of the Septuagint in exercises is excellent though. Mounce cannot match that--or at least doesn't.

Looking at the comments on Amazon for Croy, the two biggest complaints
about it I see are:

1.  Not as helpful for self-learners as Mounce (potentially meaning
that it's more important to get my teaching right).

2.  The shoddiness of the physical construction of the book.  Even in
my newly arrived exam copy, I have noticed that the glue has already
cracked.

Do people agree or disagree with these?
