Review of Japanese Verbs and Essentials of Grammar by Thor Asmund

This book is the best reference book for Japanese grammar for people on a beginner's level I have seen. It covers everything from simple sentence constructions, through adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions to verb usage and advanced verb endings. It has a lot of tables with useful words, like: Family related words, health related words, weather related words etc. But its major force is its simple presentation of many important parts of Japanese grammar. This book is the beginner's ideal supplement to a dictionary. The book uses romaji only.
