Customer Reviews

Indispensible for its purposes.

This item was required for all incoming freshmen and for all who were in adult degree completion programs at the college where I teach. It's not meant to be a complete guide for writing papers, but it's a quick reference guide for grammar and syntax, and it serves this purpose well.

Good for Grammar

This book deals primarily with grammar and syntax issues. For that, it is a gem. I bought it thinking it might have some tips for revising plot and characterization, and so was disappointed. It is, however, a lovely resource for writers who struggle with grammar and syntax problems. It is short, sweet, and to the point.

Every English Teacher Needs This Book!

If every English classroom had copies of this book, Strunk and White, dictionaries and one good encyclopedia, the process of becoming a good writer would be easily streamlined.Until that time, cross your fingers and get this book!
