The text has a few issues (as do they all...) but it was pretty good for self-study. I was able to do quite a bit on my own before starting classes. There is an answer key available as well. Mounce's grammar comes with a cd-rom which may also be helpful for self-learning. I hear it's good but haven't checked it out. One of my greek classmates tells me that it does a much better job of explaining things like 3rd declension nouns, something in which Wenham was deficient. I also found the Parsons greek tutor cd-roms to be very helpful for drilling and memory work, but not so much for actual instruction.
