A friend of mine started to learn Russian. He is having a problem trying to find a good grammar tutorial. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any feedback!

We use A Living Russian Grammar

Is there a university nearby to you? I found some in my university library, and it would not cost them anything.

I like "Schaum's Outline of Russian Grammar". It's systematic and all exericises are provided with keys. But it's not for beginners.

You can read reviews for this and other Russian grammars on Amazon

To expand, I use Schaum's and it's a really good book but it doesn't have lessons, you just have to kind of... decide what you want to learn and flip to those exercises. For instance, the very last chapter is on conjunctions, and I'm sure they don't expect you to work your way through a 300+ page book without knowing how to use "and", "but", etc. I like it but it takes a little getting used to.
