MY REVIEW: "English Grammar: 100 Tragically Common Mistakes (and How to Correct Them)" is a very helpful and well-organized guide to proper grammar and punctuation. Author Sean Williams teaches--not preaches--and you will enjoy refreshing your writing and word skills. Divided into sections such as: "Grammar Goofs", "Punctuation Saves Lives", "Word To The Wise", and "High Style", the book presents information in an easily-accessible and entertaining manner. There are "cheat sheets" for punctuation and parts of speech, a glossary, and and a list of fifty substitutions that cut over-long phrases down to one concise word. The book's smaller size makes it conveniently portable, and just like a suitcase packed by an expert traveler, it contains a large amount of necessities fitted into a compact space.
