Title: Good Reference and an Easy Read
Product review: A student of mine (college level) for whom English is a second language asked me to recommend a "grammar book" he could have in his arsenal, not something long and consuming but something easy, accurate, readable and digestible. So I spent the better part of a morning cruising shelves at a couple of bookstores, until I came across GRAMMAR POWER by Jane Schwartz. It fits the bill perfectly. No, it's not an ESL reference, but what my student needs is a handy reference for things he needs to be reminded of, and it's as necessary for him as it is for my students for whom English is a first language!This little book is concise, topical, and energetic, and for anyone who needs to be reminded of--or freshly informed about-- the underpinnings of writing and speaking in English, this is it!
