No one knows grammar like Michael Strumpf. For over a quarter of a century, as creator and proprietor of the National Grammar Hot Line, he helped thousands of callers from every corner of the globe tackle the thorniest issues of English grammar. Now, in The Grammar Bible, he has created an eminently useful guide to better speaking and writing. Unlike other grammar manuals, The Grammar Bible is driven by the actual questions Professor Strumpf encountered during his years of teaching and fielding phone calls from anxious writers, conscientious students, and perplexed editors, including such perennial quandaries as - Where do I put this comma? - What case should this pronoun be in? - How do I form the possessive of Dickens? Professor Strumpf explains these and other language issues with wit and wisdom, showing how to speak more clearly and write more impressively by avoiding common errors and following the principles of good grammar. Whether you need a comprehensive review of the subjunctive mood or simply want to know which form of a verb to use, The Grammar Bible is a practical guide that will enlighten, educate, and entertain.

There are concepts and ideas that I had not remembered in my grammar class in college. So, this book is superb for teaching grammar. I have new approaches for making lessons plans.
The best grammar book you will ever own - for both native and non-native speakers:

I have other grammar books that include only 'common parlance' and not the 'strictly correct' usage. Students need to know both -... more info
Excellent Reference:
If you are looking to improve your grammar or brush up some facets on which you are rusty, this is a great reference. The Grammar Bible is clear and concise. I love the Q&A scenarios that help paint a better picture of the subject it is trying to explain. I am a grammar fan. I have several references on grammar but this one is the best.
Perfect for learning how to write:
This book is perfect if you want to actually understand the basics of grammar and utilize them in your writing without having to struggle through any unpractical doctrine. But as most of the other reviews say, it doesn't go into any complexities.
