Practical English Usage by Michael Swan was the book I used when I was learning English. I would like to have a similar book for German, since it contained a lot of common mistakes made by non-native speakers, as well as good explained grammar.

What is your level in German. It is above intermediate, I would suggest you Hammer's German Grammar and Usage. When I learnt German, it helped me a lot.– Ad InfinitumNov 18, 2016 at 12:31

Actually, no. I need a book similar to the one I mentioned. Its concept is to go throughout the most common mistakes, and to explain them. So, a lot of grammar, but moreover, a lot of explanation of language usage.– blackarrowNov 18, 2016 at 20:19

The book is from Oxford university press (as the OALD) so I think it's not too localized but a pretty standard book.– JankaNov 19, 2016 at 3:19

Very cool book -- I'd also be interested in a version for German for myself when I am advanced enough :-)– EricFeb 15, 2017 at 8:11

Searching for häufige fehler deutsch fremdsprache surfaced some nice links. They are not books, but a nice start. I find that normally knowing what search terms to enter in Google makes all the difference.
I hope those help.
As for common mistakes, you might consider getting "1001 Pitfalls in German." It is out of print, but still easy to find. I own the variant for French, which covers topics like confused words, false friends, and other, well, pitfalls.
