Customer Reviews

Short, but Sweet

This handy book full of correct and incorrect usages shows you "how to." It is quick and easy to use. It will, however, not come up with all the answers you need. My biggest disappointment was to note that although it was printed in 2003, it appears not to be an update from the original 1982 edition. Still, it is ahead of most of us.

Helpful and easy to understand

All of the necessary grammar basics are in the voice of a concerned, good-natured friend who wants to help. Strategies for avoiding confusion are liberally provided.

Great Book

A little better than Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" which I have been using for years (and still use). Like "Elements" the GRAMMAR CRAMMER is only about 100 pages, but I find answers I don't get in "Elements", and the index is much better. The type size is larger also. For the price, it is well worth it.

A quick, incisive grammar course that's enjoyable reading

This useful little book explains everything from when to use can instead of may to the difference between lie and lay to when run-on and sentence fragments are okay. It's all written in a down to earth, clear, concise, and easy-to-remember manner. I read it through in a few hours and now I keep it at hand as a constant desk reference. I recommend it to everyone from students to English-as-second-language learners.

Great book I use often. A little better that Strunk & White's

"The Elements of Style" which I have been using for years (and still use). Like "Elements" the GRAMMAR CRAMMER is only about 100 pages, but I find answers I don't get in "Elements", and the index is much better. The type size is larger also. For the price, it is well worth it.
