A great ESL resource

This book is an original, readable resource for ESL instructors. The basic premise is to organize English grammar according to the errors which learners often make. The authors clearly have extensive experience in teaching ESL, as the examples are insightful and well-organized. Furthermore, the book is not bogged down with jargon. It is to the point and readily applicable. I only wish that it were longer, and still in print. (It's very difficult to find.) I hope Burt and Kiparsky write a new edition or get this book back into print.
