Book Description

Adults often begin writing and realized that they don't remember all the rules they learned in Mrs. Peacock's 8th grade English class. Most adults in the workplace today have purchased -- on at least one occasion -- a writing guide. Grammar, style, punctuation, sentence structure and irregular verbs are all elements of grammar and style that we often just don't know anymore. And for anyone who has to communicate professionally -- whether a formal business presentation or a general improvement in their everyday conversational ability -- has gone to the bookstore to look for a grammar and style guide.

Teach Yourself Grammar and Style in 24 Hours is a straightforward guide to everything from basic nouns and verbs to expressing clear thought in writing. Based on the proven Teach Yourself formula, the authors will construct 24 1-hour lessons on grammar and style that build sequentially. Since grammar and style work together, readers can see how one chapter affects the next as they progress. Best of all -- at $17.99, readers can purchase one all inclusive grammar and style book for more coverage and a better price.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I used to hate the thought of brushing up on grammar, but this book changed all that. Finally there's a concise book that covers all the basic rules - and makes it fun to learn, too. The first part of the book is an excellent overview of the rules of the English language, with plenty of explanations and examples. The second part gives terrific lessons in style and shows you how to use the rules of the English language. Each chapter also has tips and pointers, and a fun quiz at the end!

Easily the best grammar book I've ever seen!

Almost Perfect December 17, 2004
By Shawn
Format:Paperback
I haven't studied grammer since grade school and this book is a good refresher. The content seems comprehensive. However, I am a little annoyed at two incidentals:

1. There are just not enough examples.

2. I have located four errors in the quizzes and I'm only a third of the way through the book. This is the most frustrating aspect. To what extent can I improve my grammer when the answers for the quizzes are incorrect? For those that own the text, look at problem 6 on page 127. The correct answer should be B and not A as the answer sheet describes.

I think I will hang onto this book and use it as a reference.

Well done Dr. Hensley April 24, 2002
Format:Paperback
I had the honor of meeting Dr. Hensley at a conference in North Carolina. I managed to go to ever class he taught. This man is an amazing teacher! He can teach you more in ten minutes than most can teach you in one year. I encourage all who are looking for insight into writing to purchase this book and USE IT.
