[Ovidiu B · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a handy book, well structured with plenty of given examples.
It also contains exercises and key answers.
The text is clear and the DTP team did a great job.
I am very excited to have it in my collection, as a helping guide when I doubt some of my grammatical knowledge.
