I have heard of it from time to time here, but I have never seen the book.
I decided to see how much it costs by consulting Amazon - and I found the
results somewhat amusing:
We were unable to find exact matches for your search:
the title starts "Tutti i Verbi Greci"
Close matches for this search:
I Know This Much Is True - Wally Lamb; Hardcover
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou; Paperback
Woe Is I : The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in
Plain English - Patricia T. O'Conner; Hardcover
Well, whether those are close matches is a matter of opinion, I guess.

What I'm really trying to do is write a section on the morphology of the
Aorists and Imperfect for Little Greek 101. Should I suggest that beginners
simply memorize the most common Second Aorists in the GNT? Or is there a
set of rules that are worthwhile for beginners to learn?
