Summary: The Best Book Ever
Comment: I used this book in my college classes and it is a gift from Heaven. It has helped me get an A in my classes because they require a format when submitting a paper. I get extra credit for using these formats and I could not have done it without The Little Brown Compact Handbook.

Summary: Another high school English teacher chimes in...
Comment: This grammar book is decidedly thorough, concise, and both extremely helpful and intimidating, especially to those who are grammatically-challenged! The passion of the professor's review seems to exude frustration and disgust with two groups of people.
Finger-pointing is done at the teachers who are unable to master sufficiently themselves the basics of the English language grammar that they are positioned to teach. There is also blame cast upon the students below college level, who are lacking the skills of recognizing and applying these basic skills in their own use of language.
Any teaching book by itself, even an excellent one such as this grammar book, often needs to have a guide to go with it. In this case a guide would be a knowledgeable, patient, and motivated teacher. As a high school English teacher for over 38 years, I have learned to pick my battles in the area of English grammar. My students have had more media exposure to 20 second-sound bites, telecommunication devices, and the whole world of the Internet than either my generation or the one immediately succeeding mine. This is part of their experience. We talk, and we read more than we write. From the Internet itself there has emerged from emails and chatrooms a whole series of shorthand that perhaps those responsible for this book might want to include in a chapter on "Telecommuncations Grammar For Different Occasions"! This is not to excuse bad grammar; this is to identify a cause and expand on a method of teaching.
To give an already grammatically-challenged student a superb grammar book and hope it will help without further interaction on the teacher's part is comparable to giving a top choice T-Bone steak on a fine china plate to a baby who's just beginning to teethe. The hunger is there; the food is there, but the child will starve to death anyway!
This is as complete and as well-done an English grammar as one can buy - when it is accompanied by either a competent, concerned teacher, or a most avid self-motivated, interested student. It's also an excellent review book for a seasoned grammarian to keep on hand.
