This book in question was not displayed on Google Book? Would appreciate your help since I'm learning Greek on my own. There aren't any books/audio CD available here to aid me in this endeavour. Any help in learning Greek would be welcome! Thanks.
Searching Google Books can give odd results, even for books you know are there. Try typing in "Harbottle's Classical Quotations". This just now worked for me on Google Book search. It should turn up a 1906 book of 686 pages.
See textkit for Greek Grammars and readers. White's "First Greek book" is good.
