Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation: The Mysteries of Grammar and Punctuation Revealed (New, Expanded Eighth Edition) (Paperback)
Author Jane Straus takes the myth out of grammar and punctuation with this handy, practical, easy-to-use handbook fit for all ages and all levels of skill. The book is divided into two parts and the well-organized, easy-to-navigate table of contents allow you to go exactly where you want to go. The first part covers grammar; the second part covers punctuation, capitalization, and writing numbers. A the end of each part there are exercises to test your knowledge and skills, and to ensure you've learned the topics discussed. All topics are illustrated with key examples for clear understanding. Here's an overview of Part I: Finding Subjects and Verbs, Subject and Verb Agreement, Pronouns, Who and Whom, Whoever and Whomever, Who vs. Which vs. That, Adjectives and Adverbs, Problems with Prepositions, Effect vs. Affect, Lie vs. lay, and Effective Writing. Overview of Part II: Spacing with Punctuation, Periods, Ellipsis Marks, Commas, Semicolons, Colons, Question Marks, Exclamation Points, Quotation Marks, Parentheses, Apostrophes, Contractions, Hyphens, and Dashes. Jane Straus, seminar leader and lecturer, is a recipient of the Outstanding Young Woman of America award and has conducted workshops for thousands of people on the topic. Whether you're a writer, editor, student, teacher, or simply someone who wishes to "tune-up" your grammar skills, this book will be an indispensable tool you'll want to keep in your reference shelf. Most importantly, this is a grammar and punctuation book you won't hate.
