2.0 out of 5 stars Confusing and full of typos, December 17, 2002
By A Customer
This book can be quite confusing at times, and is best used with a teacher in a class. It's not designed for self-study. There are quite a few errors in the book as well. The editor needs to go through it again and fix the mistakes. Some sections introduce a grammar point, and then offer NO practice for that point.

1.0 out of 5 stars A misleading message, March 15, 2001
The book though titled Grammar in Context (ESL Series) is actually a booklet of about 48 pages with merely some drills and keys in it. The book is of no use unless you already have Grammar in Context (paperback edition). In my opinion, this booklet should be treated as an attachment to the original book Grammar in Context and ought not to be sold separately . Besides, all the bookreviews under the item are related to the original book Grammar in Context (paperback edition). So be careful when you order the book. I suggest the bookreviews under this item be removed.
