Been studying Anglo-Saxon for last year. Two helpful books in addition to ones mentioned are Steven Pollington's First Steps in Old English and A Student's Beowulf which is gives a line by line gloss of the poem.

grammar I've been looking for).
Hey Justin,
Sweet's A-S Primer is very cheap at the moment second-hand on
amazon.uk [
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0198111789/qid=1135280682/sr
=1-2/ref=sr_1_0_2/026-3840711-5991616 ]. Not quite as cheap at
amazon.com [ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0198111789/103-7310813-
1661416?v=glance&n=283155 ].
Likewise the Reader, pretty cheap second-hand at both sites:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/019811169X/qid=1135281139/sr=1-
1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7310813-1661416?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/019811169X/qid=1135281239/sr
=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-3937718-9716605
Both sites allow you to look inside either book, even search for
words in it! There is an unspecified page limit, but I've found it
to be quite generous with other books I've looked at.
