    Should be a staple for educators/students alike

    I'm an English teacher, and someone in my reading circle recommended this book. I thumbed through it, was impressed, and bought a brand new copy. Every parent, educator, student, and professional in every field should possess a copy of this book. It is helpful, informative, and reader friendly! I wish every journalist and copy editor would use it as a language bible.

    Recommended for parents and teachers alike

    Many of these phrases made my school years so much easier. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to help their children to remember these rules easily, and for life!
