Grammatically Correct

I never knew that I made so many mistakes in my writing. This book is great for beginners, and for amateurs; I don't know about professionals though.

This is my favorite grammar book. It's the only one I ever use.

It's not for beginners, though. It's for somebody who wants a more in-depth discussion of English grammar, but not so in-depth (e.g., Quirk) that it's useless. The discussion of the active versus the passive voice, for example, is four pages long.

There are plenty of examples, but no exercises. Usage is American.

In addition to grammar it also has sections on spelling and punctuation.

Note that it's smaller than paperback-sized.

I wish I had read Grammatically Correct years ago. It is an excellent resource. L.Scott Boise, Idaho 8-9-2008

First, my hardback version came poorly bound and the pages are likely to begin falling out soon. Second, the book indeed presents some good grammar rules, but it is rather simplistic overall (i.e., 8th grade like), so do not expect anything too great or cool grammar constructions to impress your peers. Lastly, I found several grammar problems in the text itself (e.g., on page 90 it states "These [should be there] is essentially no difference in meaning between these pairs of sentences"), which is quite shocking for a grammar book!

I have wanted to replace these books. I think they are essential in helping you write any and everything.
