Query: For professors not for learners

I can certainly recommend this book to all university professors teaching Sanskrit and to all those individuals who know everything about Sanskrit, and now want to see what the respectable author has to say and know about Sanskrit.But if you do not know Sanskrit and want to learn it, do not spend your money and do not waste your time on this book. I love `Teach yourself ...' series, I used some of their books and this book was my first disappointment in that series.On three occasions I started my study but I could not go past the first chapter. The author assumes not only that you know Greek and Latin but also that you know Sanskrit and then passing lightly over important grammatical points and rules, spends most of his and yours time to give you some subtle hints about some exotic uses of Sanskrit grammar.So avoid this `Look what I know about Sanskrit, you will never be as clever as I am' book and try something else.
