Well, I HAVE LEARNED WELL!/ Books on verbs of motion

[Karen Schmiady]

Dear Anyse,

you could have look at "Знаю и люблю русские глаголы" by А.Д. Кривоносов 
and Т.Ю. Редькина. Most of it is about verbs of motion (about 45 pages) 
and as far as I got you right, it is exactly what you are looking for.
I hope you will find it helpfully

Regards
Karen
