Much too expensive for the content.
By Shawn C. Ragan
German for Reading Knowledge is geared for that: learning to read German. This book is not focused on conversational German, but rather for those (generally graduate students preparing for language exams) who only need to acquire the ability to read German. From my own experience, we are currently using this book within a classroom setting, but many will need a resource to study the language independently.
This book is arranged into twenty-five chapters (Kapitel) and consists of 318 pages. Each chapter contains the grammatical lesson, vocabulary, practice sentences (the answers are available on the website), and a paragraph or more of German text for translation. The lessons begin with the nominative case and sein ("to be") conjugations for present and passive, then the subsequent chapters build upon the grammar. The readings, from chapter 1, are complex and challenge the student. These readings start the student with reading German, which is the end goal. The Appendices include some review on the case system, verbs (though a review of conjugations would have been nice here), advice on purchasing a dictionary, German scripts, and vocabulary.
There are several concerns with this text, though. Firstly, while there is a vocabulary list in each chapter, it does not include all of the vocabulary presented in the chapter. There is a considerable amount of vocabulary throughout the chapter that is not included in the list, and it would have been nice if the chapter list included all of the presented vocabulary. Additionally, even starting in the first chapter, the sentences and readings contain vocabulary which is neither in the vocabulary list nor in the vocabulary in the back of the book (e.g. `zu' is used, with two different meanings, in the first reading), requiring a dictionary from the start. Secondly, the sentences and readings include grammatical information that is not presented until later lessons. One cannot be expected to translate a sentence when the necessary grammar is not taught until a later lesson. Thirdly, the book has errors. In my case, there is a professor to correct the errors (ranging from incorrect information to including references to sentences included in earlier editions but absent from the seventh).
Fourthly, and this is by far the greatest concern: This book is incredibly overpriced. Right now, it is selling for $115 on Amazon. This is a small paperback book and I can find *no* justification for the exorbitant price, especially considering the problems with the book. I have bought expensive academic books and monographs in the past, but those were typically hardcover books and of incredible quality. Even for an academic textbook, this book is not worth the price. If it was offered for under $40, and was used in a classroom setting with an instructor to help make up for the problems/deficiencies of the text, I would recommend it (with prejudice). At this price, however, and with the concerns mentioned above, I cannot recommend this book.

bought for class, 7th edition is full of errors
By Jonathan D
For a 100+ dollar book you would expect that there would not be as many errors. I had the third and sixth edition lying around as well, but had to have the 7th for a class. The sixth edition did not have as many errors as the 7th. Some of the mistakes will lead students seriously stray if not pointed out, and are not simple typos. If you have any say, get the sixth edition.

Poorly written and expensive
By YaleStudent
I'm a student who's taking a German for reading course where we use this textbook, and I cannot recommend it as a good introduction to German grammar. While some the of grammatical concepts are adequately (though never clearly) explained in the chapters, the organization and pedagogical approach of the book leaves much to be desired. Here are some examples:
1) In the Grundwortschatz (the main vocabulary entry after each chapter), vocabulary items are introduced multiple times and given different (and occasionally incorrect) meanings. The exercises, furthermore, gloss words which have already appeared in the Grundwortschatz but skip complex and infrequently used words which the students cannot possibly be expected to know. One reading, for example, glosses geh�ren zu (to belong to), which we have already encountered, but omits the words gro�k�pfige (macrocephalic) and Fu�sohle.
2) The author himself frequently confuses important grammatical concepts. When "former" and "latter" are introduced, for example, the author misuses them in his own examples.
3) Vocabularies introduced in the Grundwortschatz are different from those used in the chapter: it would be much better to use words we have already learned to explain grammatical concepts!
4) As already mentioned, this book is overpriced. I come from a discipline where scholarly publications are pricey, but this book beats even OUP in that respect!
