Hi
I've got a print copy of Ivy Kellerman Reed's 'Complete Grammar of Esperanto.' It is freely available on line (www.gutenberg.org_Kellerman)

It comes across as quite good & still very usable, my one concern is that it is old.

Has the language changed that much. Is it still relevant to Esperanto as it is now used?

Thanks
Guy

The only point I noticed on a quick read through is that it seems to over-emphasize the compound tenses (esti + particle) which tend to be used somewhat sparingly in practice.

However you need to know of them and to be able to use them where the simple forms would be misleading.

It is old and has some archaic usages but I enjoyed using it. Someone in our Esperanto group, re-typeset the Gutenburg version. You can get it here:

The web page also includes an answer key for the first 17 lessons. Some of the archaic usages are mentioned and discussed in this answer key.

And if you are interested, we had also scanned and make available Benson's "Universala Esperanto Metodo":
