Review:

"The beauty of this book is that it has an index of verb stems, verb endings and noun endings. For example, you can look up dadarsha in the index, and it will point you to the root drsh. If have a verb that ends in -ata, it will lead you to the possible paradigms that use that ending. The book also has a very comprehensive list of major parts of the verb, listing 400-odd roots."
