About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

[Carlos · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was incredibly helpful in all aspects of German grammar. The explications were superb, the exercises, while as inevitably repetitive as any other grammar exercise, were helpful in applying the concepts and the breath of grammar covered was excellent. The only difficulties that I found with the book was the increased vocabulary that seemed large even to a 2nd year student of German. Also the book was published before the spelling reform so it obviously contains some pre-reform spelling. Overall it was a definite help in the path towards mastering German.
