Joseph,
The University of Wisconsin still uses the grammar by Crosby and Schaeffer.
I bought a brand new copy a few years ago when I took the first of their
courses in Classical Greek, so I assume it is still in print. You're right,
the derivatives used in the vocabularies are great. I had almost forgotten
about them. Thanks for the reminder.
