[Derek Dewitt · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's more of a reference book than a book to read through, but the explanations are clear and the examples generally useful. Back in 1975, when it was first published, it was probably a godsend. The third edition incorporates some corpus data, which keeps this book relevant today.

A good reference book

I read this book around 2012 while I was in my English-cramming moment during which time transformed me from an idiot to a less idiot.

I'm reading a 1992 impression of the 1975 edition. It's not exactly a page-turner, but it has been very useful, even to a level 10 grammarhound.
