Yeah, the facing editions like that are awesome (especially for Beowulf, as it's probably the Seamus Heaney translation? He's just plain fantastic...), but not all that helpful. I have a few grammars and things like that, too (for all the sense I can make of them - they tend to be dense little buggers), and then books of poetry, kennings and things, with academic translations that sometimes make things a little more clear, I've had to admit that I'm never going to get all that far with it. Alas.
Tiny print! Good on you, though - too many people don't give a damn about wasting paper. ♥
