Customer Reviews

Thanks, Ann!

I have taught ESL, foreign languages, writing and study skills for 30+ years. Never before encountered such a clear, concise handbook for all-purpose use. EVERYONE could benefit from a having a copy of this book on their desks! Most recently, I chose it as a quick review of basics for a group of foreign military officers writing research papers. They loved its easy access. NOW, my 17 year-old son is using it for a quick reference while writing his college application essays.

Clear and with lots of content

I got this book because I needed it for my adv english class. It covers almost every trick there is and it has great examples as well. I'd recommend as a support book for writers with some knowledge of the language.
