I wouldn't really recommend Ruth Noel's book because of a few discrepancies in her Quenya grammar. I know that normally such a slight should be overlooked, but I would much rather trust the Ardalambion site, where I completed all the lessons. Of course, that was a few months ago, so now I forgot everything and have to go back and do them all over again.

As to the discrepancies in Noel's book, they have to do with the aorist tense and the past tense in Quenya. Ardalambion uses the most recently published information about Tolkien's languages, and Helge updates his lessons as often as he gets new information on Quenya.
