Title: The Paradigm of Grammars
Review: I obtained the 1965 edition of this grammar in a used bookstore for a few dollars several years ago and have consulted it time and again. Its import is reflected in its going price on Amazon, ($550+). Its value is in its simplicity, logical arrangement, and expositional clarity, three characteristics of any good piece of writing or any textbook that is worth the use. The current-day textbooks of most any kind appear to have an underlying philosophy that the more hodge-podge on the page, the better. You open them and your eyes are greeted with an aesthetic disaster, a confusing layout, and impenetrable inarticulateness.Not so with Warriner's grammar. Based on customer images, the newer editions have kept the quality of the old. If so, this edition should be as extremely satisfying as the one on my shelf.
