Bloomsbury Grammar Guide: Grammar Made Easy - Softcover

'The sub-title says it all - this is a simple guide to the nuts and bolts of English grammar.' Good Book Guide 'Compact in presentation, the information on points of grammar is presented succinctly and with minimal fuss, using mainly just subheadings, bold type and numbered lists to identify, emphasize and summarize. These features are interspersed with short, clear passages of text that introduce each section ... I found I could locate specific pieces of information very quickly in this book because I could go straight to the complete relevant coverage. Once arrived at the page, I could pick out the topic subheading and scan for examples (bold type), or read the whole item in moments ... I would choose [this book] because I am a dipper-in and checker-up.' Wendy Toole, Editing Matters (Journal of the Society of Editors and Proofreaders)
