I like Hale and Buck _Latin Grammar_. (U. of Alabama Press-- "Books 
_a la bama_!" --carries it.)

http://www.uapress.ua.edu/indexes/author_h.htm

Bolchazy-Carducci has reprinted Gildersleeve and Lodge. It's not as 
easy to use as Hale and Buck, but there's more information in there.

Less comprehensive than these is Henle's _Latin Grammar_, but it's a 
nice concise reference. Two potential drawbacks: Henle uses "j" for 
consonantal "i" which might bother you if you're not used to it. 
Also, his grammar was written to accompany his long-used series of 
texts for Catholic High Schools, and some of his examples are 
religious enough to start your stigmata bleeding.

I think all of these are available only in paperback, but my copies 
see a fair amount of use and they haven't shown much wear yet.
