5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference resource for immediate help,
By Brian Quinlan (bdq@splitrocktel.net) (South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 21st Century Grammar Handbook (21st Century Reference) (Paperback)
The 21st Century Grammar Handbook list subjects in alphabetical order which makes it a good reference tool when a person needs it the most - in the middle of writing. Also, the book covers everything; the number of topics discussed is extensive. The authors have shown themselves to be very knowledgeable in English grammar.

I have purchased better,
By A Customer
This review is from: 21st Century Grammar Handbook (21st Century Reference) (Paperback)
I didn't find this book to be what I was looking for. I wanted something easy to read for a quick brush-up on basic grammar and punctuation skills. Instead I found quite a few technical terms that I don't know off the top of my head. It made the contents confusing and ultimately I put the book down after a few minutes. Not enjoyable or easy to read ( they do exist!). It's not to say the writers aren't knowledgeable, they are, but too much so. Try something else if you're looking to brush up on your skills.

IT'S WORTHY. Will help a lot.,
This review is from: 21st Century Grammar Handbook (21st Century Reference) (Paperback)
I found that book very useful. As a non-native english speaker, it helps me a lot when I have to write letters or even memos in my company. The English Grammar is a very extensive issue, so it is not easy to have a quick reference book. This is the one. I recommend even for native speaker. It has a key word index that helps a lot and includes not only grammar, but also style. It is not a five star because I think it could have more examples.
