I also worked through this book once upon a time. It is, how shall I say,
not terrible. It has a very good, linguistically sound treatment of
epenthetic vowels in stem-final consonant clusters.

If I am not mistaken, Ohio State markets a large set of workbooks designed
to supplement this grammar textbook. I own the set, although I've never
used it for anything; unfortunately, it is packed away and I could not find
it quickly. I believe this is part of their long-distance language teaching
program, and I do not know who is in charge of the effort. Perhaps some
kind SEELanger from Ohio State can step in here.
