This guy certainly knows his stuff. And the book will find a place on my bookshelf for the foreseeable future. I certainly learned a great deal from reading it (part of my job is to check exam papers). This is not a reference book. It is designed to be read cover-to-cover - and that's the way I tackled it. I did manage to read the whole thing which - I guess - is testiment to the title's readability. The bad points? It's American (I'm British), the author is a bit pompous (most people who write about grammar are), and the examples could have been much clearer and better selected. As a computer scientist the inconsistencies in English grammer drive me mad - but that's not the fault of the author.

So highly recommended. I learned a great deal about grammar, punctuation, and usage. Just be prepared to be annoyed by his preaching style and the illogicalities of English grammar.
