I could add quite a few more to my list as well, but then it wouldn’t be a “top 10 list” — and also, I’m currently reading through some that I haven’t yet finished, and there are some that I don’t ever mean to finish.

Well, when I googled for that book, it did show up with one of the links to amazon.com.

So you found it then? Its published by Kregel. The ISBN is 0825426448.
Its good. I’m half way through it. Its a basic survey of Greek and Hebrew. They give beginning students basic surveys of Greek & Hebrew phonology, morphology, syntax, and even a bit of discourse and semantics. It focuses on how Greek & Hebrew are different or similar to English.
The book is also very basic – I’ve found myself skimming it through parts just because I think to myself, “Okay, I know that…I know that…” Its intended for the person who has had no training in phonetics or topics above. So in a sense, there’s nothing else like it in print.
