One of the best reference books ever released by Oxford University press September 30, 2006 58 out of 65 found this review helpful
The book that I have eagerly rated at 5 stars is one of the most comprehensive pocket-edition grammar booklets I have ever purchased.
Consisting of one hundred and forty-eight pages, John Seely's reference book is divided into grammar and punctuation sections in alphabetical order . Each category is enriched by several examples that allow readers to understand how to apply a general rule within a context ; what is more, there is a very explicable sub-category dedicated to the commonest grammar mistakes many a student - and writer - may happen to commit during his/her writing .
Being an English major , I have come across a multitude of grammar books , and I have always had to operate a selection to discern which ones would be useful to me and which ones might be too prolific and superfluous .This edition represents a valid compromise to find when looking for a general grammar book : although the explanation for each rule is reduced to the classic pattern definition-example ,the explanation provided is concise and sufficient for any reader to grasp the meaning of each entry .
A good quick reference August 9, 2005 40 out of 48 found this review helpful
The grammar is a little patchy but the punctuation entries are excellent as quick guides (to solve problems when writing or teaching without having to plough through hundreds of pages of 'exceptions' to rules).
