John William's Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar, published by Routledge, is an academic Grammar for adults that offers points of comparison (written in English) for learners already familiar with Spanish Grammar. If you like a more thorough/University style of learning I highly recommend this book.

MBPG does a more detailed explanation of grammar and structure than many textbooks ever will. ... The bottom line is that MBPG is a great companion to other more structured textbooks
