Anyone have such a deck, it'd save me a lot of time, if not anyone up for helping me mine the sentences?

Anyone care to review this book on how it compares to what Tae Kim offers? I'm assuming it's almost the same material, but with better sentences and Japanese explanations.

I am in the process of entering this into an Excel file, but it is taking some time. I am getting through at about 25 grammar points per day (there are 150 in total, plus a whole bunch of questions).
Once it is done, I would be happy to share - on the condition that somebody went through and checked the file for grammatical errors (because a large majority of the example sentences are in JLPT question form, so I might have made some mistakes in choosing the correct answer - unlikely, but possible).
Also, in response to Nukemarine:
It provides very, very brief explanations of basic grammar, usually with about 2 example sentences, at least 2 practice questions at each grammar point, and a lot of practice questions at the end of each chapter and the end of the book (which appear to be from the JLPT or JLPT specification). Those can be used as example sentences.
Coverage, I think, would be similar to Genki 1 + 2 or Tae Kim. There is less explanation, but I kind of prefer the book as it's quite easy to power through. I find the aforementioned quite tedious in comparison, and the practice exercises are quite nice.
I'm finding that I know how most of these grammar structures are used anyhow (because I studied in High School years ago and watch a lot of anime so have naturally picked things up).
So, yeah, it is probably best used for a reference rather than a learning resource, but could certainly be SRS'ed to reinforce the rules, in combination with say, the Basic Dictionary for Japanese Grammar, Genki, or Tae Kim for explanation.

I have got a deck containing pretty much all of the sentences from Kanzen Master (it also contains all of the stuff that I have been randomly mining, so Omohide Poro Poro, In a Grove, emails from friends, Nodame Cantabile, Kanzen Master 2kyu, etc. etc.). The grammar explanations might be omitted in some cases, and the translations might be incorrect/hastily transcribed/almost note form. But I'm quite happy to share it - if I'm not already (I don't know how the anki settings for sharing decks works). I will check this evening when I get home, if I remember. (It might be up there already - under the name 'Minna no Nihongo sentences', since that's how it started life...)

Okay, I've just uploaded it to Anki, so you should be able to download it by going to File>Download>Shared Deck.
It's called Japanese sentence deck and it has 8180 facts.
You should be able to locate the Kanzen Master sentences by using the tags - though some tags are incorrect. Sorry!
