It's all here

This book covers all the basic elements of the English Language and of Literature that you should have learned in a good High School. Sad to say most college graduates still don't know these fundamentals (I know, I work at a University). Want to master the fundamentals of the English language and more deeply appreciate the rich bounty of its literature without wadding through a book thick enough to stop a bullet? Then buy this book!And if you want to really master grammar, in manageable doses, then check out English 3200 and 2600 by Blumenthal. You wont be disappointed. I wasn't. Now if I could only find a way to learn how to spell without using spell check all the time...=7
