Critics Review
“A readable grammar book that is hard to put down … this book is thorough, combining practical information not easily found in trade books.”
–Library Journal
“Strumpf has been fielding calls on the National Grammar Hot Line for more than 25 years, telling callers how to make their subjects agree with their verbs and tell the difference between ‘who’ and ‘whom.’ Thus many of the examples in this thick but highly readable grammar handbook come from questions–sometimes rather charming ones–posed by callers.”
–Publishers Weekly
