Customer Reviews

A little gem
If you have a reasonably basic grasp of grammar, you will find this book a little gem that can be carried around with ease. I've gifted a copy to many EFL teachers in Ukraine and most if not all find it a very useful quick source of reference. It's a real bargain from Amazon.

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).

Excellent Book
Great Pocket Size book that contains all the information you really need. Well worth purchasing whether you are studying or you just need it for general information.
