Working slowly through this book over the course of the year I have come to appreciate Naughton's lucid presentation and his effort to demystify this most complex of languages. The only thing missing, that would be useful are exercises on each of the sections, but then I suppose the concision would be lost.

Would recommend to anyone beginning a study of Czech.
