I reviewed this text as a possible book for my English 107 Grammar class. It has a lot of useful tips for applying grammar rules in different areas such as identifying and correcting sentence fragments and fixing dangling modifiers. In addition to covering most grammar rules and basic terminology, the book covers citation and the writing process. Because of this added focus, I don't believe it is appropriate for my 1-unit class unless the publisher can provide select chapters only. Still, I will probably be pilfering some ideas and lessons from this book when I teach the class again.

Good for those who may need a refresher on grammar and mechanics, or for those who need a reference for editing grammar and usage. Not for those who need to learn grammar from scratch.

I love this book. I go back to it all the time and use it to teach my composition courses.
