There's one book that's a pretty good read. I don't know whether
it's a good and accurate grammar, nor do I know what the author's
standing is in the community of Sumerianists, but _I_ liked the
book. You might be able to get it from the University Library,
since it's out of print:

The Sumerian language : an introduction to its history and grammatical
structure, Marie-Louise Thomsen
