REQUEST a Review Copy

Mastering English is like learning to cook: begin with the basic ingredients (parts of speech), mix them together according to common sense (a few basic guidelines), season to taste (punctuate), and serve with the appropriate garnishes and conventions (spelling). This text offers an innovative recipe for English, not through rote memorization, as most standard tomes require, but through an understanding of the choices that have become our modern language.
