TITLE: Some notes, literature on grassmanians
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Can anybody provide a link to some notes on grassmanians? I mean something 'elementary': description of Plucker embedding, lines and hyperplanes on grassmanians and so on.

REPLY [2 votes]: Joe Harris's "Algebraic Geometry: A First Course" has a dedicated chapter about the Grassmannian. Also, there are computations of the degree, tangent space, etc. (the style is a bit hard to follow, though)
