Does anyone know of a good, complete book on Grassmann Algebra?

I printed out a draft of a book-in-progress (can't remember who
wrote it) but that had a lot of sections that were incomplete
or not even written yet.

Thanks!

What I know of is written for mathematicians. Something which might be
useful is the section on it in Dummit and Foote's Abstract Algebra.

Thanks. Do you mean Dummit and Foote's book is more for the general
public? Are there any other resources, more for mathematicians?
I'm willing to struggle with it. (Anyone can run in the Boston Marathon,
doesn't mean you will finish, or finish in front)

Never mind! I'll start with Dummit and Foote. If I can get through
that, then I can look at other things, if neccessary.
