The Grammar Bible: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Grammar But Didn't Know Whom to Ask

This book is perfect if you want to actually understand the basics of grammar and utilize them in your writing without having to struggle through any unpractical doctrine. But as most of the other reviews say, it doesn't go into any complexities.

My sister had purchased this book to help her with her grammar. I had no idea that I would start reading this book almost more than she. Despite having taken a rigorous course in grammar in ninth grade (and therefore expecting that this book would not teach me much), this book was very useful for refreshing my memory of grammar guidelines. The style of the book is vernacular, easy to comprehend, and in no way repesents a textbook despite containing more grammar advice that I could find in an average textbook. But I digress. My point, in short, is that this book is the one book that anyone can read, even if you believe you already utilize perfect grammar.

Very good resource for anyone who does a lot (not "alot," as the authors would confirm) of writing. Mentions a lot of the mistakes common in the English language. Teaches what we should be (but aren't) learning in government schools.

Our local library had a copy I checked out a few times until I finally bought my own. It's well worth it, though I also enjoy using "The only grammar book you'll ever need," the "Bible" offers more depth and also retains a high level of readability. I recommend both of these books, this volume for its utter depth and clarity, and the one mentioned above for its succinctness. The authors did a great job and you should be very satisfied with this purchase.

This book is the best reference book I've ever had on Grammar. Comprehensive, yet written so that it is easily accessible to anyone.
