Useful
This book is useful to have with you if like me you are starting things like Open University and it helps remaind you of all the things you may have forgotten since leaving school.

A good quick reference
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).
