      Years after it went out of print, the fact that this book exists still brings me such profound joy. Russian, fast, or fun: you can have one of the three.pic.twitter.com/j5UrtP2Pzv

      I learned Russian from Robert Baker's pitiless and unforgiving "Russian For Everybody", still one of the best language books I've seen. I remember one of the early model sentences was "Ivan Ivanovich has just returned from ten years in the north" and you knew not to ask questionspic.twitter.com/gZsmVnaxBw

      What are other people's favorite language books? Extra bonus for no pictures and just a relentless (but perfectly sequenced) wall of grammar

      There's also a series for learning English that I wish I could find again. It was impossibly British (think public school memoir written using the most basic grammar), went on forever about would/should, and lots of foreigners of a certain age have nostalgic memories of it

      My rule of thumb for evaluating language textbooks: flip to the preface, where they talk about the basic sounds of the language. If you see a cryptically labeled cross-section of a tongue and throat, you're golden. If they are talking about "s like in 'measure'" ,throw it back.

          This is an excellent rule of thumb. For a generation of Americans, the John DeFrancis textbook series published by Yale University Press was the royal road for learning Chinese, especially the Reader part of his series.
