Dear teachers and friends

I would like to buy a grammar book that could help me with English, so, could you please name a few I should consider taking a look at?

Many thanks

'Practical English Usage' by Michael Swan

Ha. I have this book. It was very expensive here (like anything else) but it was (still is) worth every cent spent.
Actually I am looking for a grammar book for practice. I'm taking an English course (finally) and I've been taught a lot of things, so I'd like a backup book to reinforce the learning.

Many thanks

What do you have in mind? Something with explanations followed by exercises or would just the exercises do?

I've just googles Grammar in Use and I found a site called firstload.com where you can download the book for free and use it for a fortnight. Might be worth trying. Don't know if it's a safe website; it just came up in Google.
