    Do you have this book Tdol? Do you use it often ? Is it based on AmE or BrE ?
    What about its target readers, ESL or native speakers ?

    They were part of the team that wrote the massive Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (Quirk Greenbaum Leech Svartvik). Their target is native speakers.
