1001 Pitfalls in German

German Grammar: A New Approach (Teach Yourself Series)
by Jenny Russ
Unlike traditional grammars, this book is structured so that you can look up language forms according to what you want to say, even if you don't know a verb from a preposition! I like the author's "new approach," but it does not place a lot of emphasis on prepositions. Nevertheless, this is an excellent reference for beginners to advanced learners. Paperback.
German Grammar in Context
by Carol Fehringer
From the back cover: "The best way to bring the grammar of a language to life is by experiencing it in context, as it is actually used by native speakers and writers. German Grammar in Context presents authentic texts from newspapers and magazines from across the German-speaking world."

Essential German Grammar: A Guide to Contemporary Usage
by Martin Durrell, Katrin Kohl
Written by renowned experts in the field, Essential German Grammar is an all-in-one introductory-level grammar that provides you with a firm foundation on which to build your German skills. The essential elements of German. Paperback.
Using German: A Guide to Contemporary Usage
by Martin Durrell
This is much more than a German grammar reference. Although it has a very good 30-page section on the prepositions alone, and many more grammar tips, Durrell's book, subtitled "A guide to contemporary usage," lives up to that description, covering topics such as pronunciation, idioms, regionalisms, syntax, punctuation and language register. This is a solid, well-organized, useful resource intended for more advanced learners. Paperback.
