Clear and Comprehensive

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book provides a comprehensive view of grammar without being too complicated. By using examples of incorrect grammar uses in national newspapers and magazines (such as The New York Times) the authors not only show the ways we could commit grammatical blunders if we do not understand the inner logic of the language properly, but also how we may easily avoid these mistakes by using simple rules.

5 may be a stretch, but...

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

The only complaint about this book that I have is, mentioned by previous reviewers, an incredibly small font. However, if the small font does not bother you, and you need a hefty grammar reference, this is definitely for you. (Yes, I know I made a few grammatical errors here, but can you spot them?)

I am extremely satisfied.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2014

It's a book, it's got grammar rules, what more do you want?

The book is just what it says it is. A nice desk reference to refresh your grasp of grammar. Don't expect a good read or a textbook on how to learn grammar, as that isn't what this book does.

I got the hardcover version (I expect to plop it on the desk and abuse it), and it's hard-cover but spiral bound, and the pages don't like to turn very well, so in retrospect, I'd recommend the paperback version.

Inexpensive, but just what I need to write term papers. A great reference!

Missing pages!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2015

The last few pages of the book are not present. The book ends in the middle of the index. Can't use a reference book that doesn't have all its pages.

This is an excellent practical grammar guide to English grammar

Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent practical grammar guide to English grammar. I bought this, because I was thinking of writing a book, as a hobby in my retirement year. I gave up on writing a book and blog instead. The Grammar Desk Reference is top notch. When unsure about something, you find your answers quickly, the explanations are plain and simple, with examples. It doesn't come any better.

Great book and great seller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is invaluable while I'm working. However, the print is a bit small for me. A larger font (and thereby book) would be good, although it's heavy enough really, so I'll just have to squint.
The seller is amazing. A couple of pages of the index were missing (presumably pulled out by the original owner) and the seller very kindly refunded the cost. Kudos to them. I will buy from them again.

Unusually refreshing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a very good publication for someone who does not want to enter the nitty gritty of the monotony of English grammar (Wasn`t the school years enough?). This spiral bound work is very convenient for opening on the desk top with bullet pointed, concise lessons demonstrating false and correct grammar that makes grammar lessons unusually refreshing.
