Customer Reviews

Class Assignment

Bought this for an english course in college- Didnt even use it!!! Waste of my money because it was never used, but was a good buy since I didnt have to pay a new price from the bookstore. Now I dont feel as horrible never needing it because I didnt pay much for it.

Ali Baba

This book is a wonderful reference, especially when preparing reports for submission at the university I attended. It provides all the details for the various reporting styles and formats which I found very useful. Even though I am no longer a student, I still refer to this book for writing letters, etc.

Fast Shipping, Excellent Condition

I needed this book for college, it was much cheaper then buying it through the school. Item arrived in perfect condition with fast shipping. This book has helped me through 4 classes, very useful.

Good

The appearance of the book was very good. It saved me a lot of money compared to the college book store price.

An excellent AP English Grammar Resource Book!

This book is a great resource from Grammar. It outlines it in an easy to follow fashion. I would suggest having your own copy of it in order to take notes and study the really important areas. Other parts of the book are very helpful with writing. Please E-mail me if you know of any other great grammar books.
