The best grammar book ever

Hi, Industrious

"A Comprehensive English Grammar", by Eckersley & Eckersley is a good book. It isn't a new book, and it is

Yes, I am looking for a more detail book. The books I have seen so far only cover the subjects superficially. I like the old grammar book because they really break things down.

Awaiting your comments.

Buy grammar book written by 'Wren and Martin' .

Are you referring to "High School English Grammar & Composition" (isbn 8121900093 )? What is so special about this book?

The best grammar book I have ever seen is "longman's grammar of spoken an written english".The book is about $100/ but it's worth buying. If you have that book you, perhaps, won't need to worry about looking for a better one.

Well, I use the book "Correct English" by Tanner ; nice book.
