The link to the grammar page under yorkii's name in the first post seems to be broken.
Most of the resources on this thread are online but I thought I'd add a few offline ones if that's ok.
A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar
A Dictionary of Intermediate Japanese Grammar
Both of the above are excellently written and very good reference materials. Authoritative.
常用字解
The above is written by Shirakawa Shizuka, who I am told was accepted in both China and Japan as one of the world's premier authorities on kanji. Even his name, 白川静, sounds too beautiful to be true. Unfortunately he died two years ago at the age of 96. The book was written to be read by Japanese high school students so this is for intermediate students of Japanese and above. If you're looking for the true meaning of each kanji as it stands individually, then this book is one of the best places to start. It's a reference book, where the kanji are ordered by their principal on-yomi reading. Wonderful to pick up when you suddenly get curious about a particular kanji and it's origins.
Kenkyusha Online Dectionary
This online service costs money but it's the highest quality Japanese->English dictionary that I've found. I said quite a lot about it in one of the other threads but the crucial point is that the example sentences and phrases contained within it are written by Japanese people. All translations go through a very thorough process.
