There's precious little around that I could find. The dead-tree info I have
(which is all I have on modern Frisian) amounts to:

A Dutch-[West] Frisian dictionary, published by AFûK, I think.
A quaint little pamphlet entitled "Notes on Frisian", which includes some
guessed-at grammar (all I could find).
A multilingual dictionary, "Snaak Friisk!", with English, Danish, German and
5 varieties of Frisian.

There are other more worthy tomes, I'm sure, but my Dutch is not that good
that I could cope with a 20-volume Dutch-Frisian dictionary.

PS The site Jim Grossman mentioned, "A Web of Online Dictionaries", seems to
have links to a lot of interesting grammars as well the dicts. However, the
only Frisian one is a German guide to Öömrang North Frisian. Westerlauwer
Frisian grammar is hard to get...
