Good idea.
And a good helper.Organize through paradigms, study and summary of dozens of pages of grammar.With some work, the graphic design of the table allows you to tailor the content to another Latin language Latin root.

Comprehesive of the basics
A lot of detail though in an American rather than UK format. Very useful

Good and useful, but not as wonderful as the Grammar Reference Guide
I bought this because I'm doing Latin classes and have a hopeless memory. I can never remember what certain bits of vocab are and would always find myself frantically scrabbling through my messy hand-drawn tables in class. The end result was a lot of mumbling and going red.One of my classmates had this ‘cheat sheet’ and I decided to give it a go. It’s laminated so won’t dissolve under the tears of Latin frustration when doing homework, which is nice.It’s an American paper size, not A4, so it doesn't line up perfectly in a folder, but I don't mind. The tables are quite easy to read and I think it has almost everything you’d need for class on it. It's certainly got me out of a few tight situations when picked on in class, and it speeds up homework too.I’d recommend this for anyone doing Latin, at any stage in their education, as it really does make it less intimidating. It might seem expensive for about £5, but it’s well worth it and I’d pay it all over again. It’s also better than trying to read messy homemade tables.My only criticism is an obvious one: This only has the absolutely most common words on it, which can be restrictive if you want to be lazy and use it as a dictionary. I do medieval and classical Latin and I find that this only really helps when we are reading the proper canon Latin stuff. I think it’s not as good/helpful as the grammar cheat sheet, but it’s still handy to have about.

Vade Mecum for students of Latin
I bought this Latin Grammar Reference Guide to refresh my memory forgeneral Latin usage.It is quite basic, does what it sets out to do, but four pages with a verysmall type face does little for my older eyes. Even when wearing my newreading glasses, I find that the addition of a magnifying glass is requiredto read some of the text.I agree with other reviewers about declensions, they are presented as perthe USA rather than in the way I was taught at school in the UK.It could have proved more useful had the US manufacturers, Quickstudy.com,published this pamphlet in 8 pages, rather than a mere 4, and used a largertype face. The addition of a side margin would also help those of us in UK/Europe who would need to punch holes for European ring binders, if we wereto include it in a binder. It is almost impossible to punch new holes withoutobscuring some of the wording in it's current state.The product is a great idea, but very little thought seems to have been putinto it's overall presentation.Larger print, and a side margin would have made it easily readable andaccessible for this older user.I can only give it 3 stars.

Great for quick reference!
My daughter is very impressed with the huge amount of information presented on here and is going to look and see what other languages they do them in!

Would have preferred it without the hole-punching ...
As mentioned elsewhere, the cases are in a different order that typically presented in the UK (Nom. Gen. Dat. Acc. Abl. Voc. [2nd declension only]), but generally looks like a good summary reference to overview the language, plus lots of extra little bits of info, such as how years were named.My only real issue with the product is the fact that it came hole-punched, getting dangerously close to cutting off bits of key words in the process. Since the text is so small, an intersection with a hole removes 3 or 4 letters, but only one word has actually suffered a direct hit, and that can be worked out from context.It's even more annoying, because the hole-punching is not correct for my folder, so my choice is to cut more holes in it or have useless holes that I don't need.It was unfortunately also folded slightly through the letter box, but I haven't removed a star for that as it was the fault of Amazon, not the product.
