Summary: Elements of Grammer
Comment: This book is a used item, however it looked like it was never used. It was in good condition and it came to me on Sunday just before my class on Monday.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great book
Comment: It's short, it's quick, it's easy. I have six grammar books in all, some of which offer longer explanations if I truly want to understand something, but I always start with this one first. I've recommended it several times to different writers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's not great, but not awful
Comment: This book is not great, but it's not awful. It has useful information that people need to know when writing. I especially like the section on Latin terms in the back of the book. Although I find it odd that it doesn't include "nota bene" or "lingua franca."

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not of much help
Comment: This book attempts to emulate The Elements of Style by Strunk and White but it doesn't even come close. It is poorly written and organized and is likely to confuse its readers. It fails to provide good examples in many cases. Explanations which should be simple are often quite complex.
I minored in English and am an experienced well published writer but I found this book of little assistance. It is not particularly useful for teachers. I can not think of anyone who would find this book useful.
For anyone trying to improve their grammar or even learn it I would suggest Checking Your Grammar by Marvin Terban which is a superb book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A clear-cut reference.
Comment: I like this book because it "cuts to the chase." It's a lean book with a lot of instructional power. It simply delivers fact without the fluff.
