We are using an awful linguistics text for my graduate applied linguistics course: Linguistics for Non-Linguists: A Primer with Exercises (4th Edition) - see my review. Only everyone's online reviews of this linguistics handbook, Linguistics Terms and Concepts by Geoffrey Finch saved me. The author is British - so he really knows English - in a way I think we are just approaching in the states, as in, it's in his DNA. And can you imagine a linguistics book that is a soothing and poetic read? Well you have found it. Finch loves the language and instructs us in it so tenderly that I can hardly imagine what life would have been like without it. Buy this book! :)
