It is still in print in paperback with a new prface by K.J. Dover (see
below). If anyone is interested in Greek particles, and especially those
of
the Hellensitic period, I append an abbreviated biliography of major
works, in order to bring us a little more up-to-date than Denniston.
Denniston remains the classic, but is slightly dated and not so helpful
for those interested in Biblical Greek. This is just a selection from my
files:
