A very good book. Compared to most other popular grammars like "Collins Cobuild's English Grammar (Helping Leaners with Real English)", "Oxford Guide to English Grammar" (by John Eastwood), and "A Student's Introduction to English Grammar" (by Rodney Huddleston), this text is accessible and valuable: it contains a lot of useful information.

The chapters on "Complementation" and "Relative Clause" are especially very useful. It could have been even better if only the topics had been properly and neatly arranged. The cross-references are untidy, and often cause a lot of confusion. I had to read the book about two to three times before I began to get an idea of the explanations.

I am going to continue using it as a main text as I bone up on English syntax.

Fun, fun, fun grammar! How I ADORE English grammar! Anyone who has a penchant for English, and grammar, especially, should possess this book (I wish I did: it's from my school library). Excellent reference for the student/professor and EXCELLENT browsing material for the lover like me!
