The Elephants of Style : A Trunkload of Tips on the Big Issues and Gray Areas of Contemporary American English from McGraw-Hill Price: $11.53 Customer Review: Almost nothing is as boring as learning the rules of grammar. The Elephants of Style, however, makes the subject humorous and easier to both read and learn about. The author uses great(and often funny ) examples to teach students about everything from parts of speech to plagarism.

Since I'm a bit of a grammar geek (albeit an imperfect and occasionally lazy one), I absolutely loved it. There wasn't much that was news to me. Ones vs.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Sin and Syntax: How to Craft Wickedly Effective Prose from Broadway Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Dangling modifiers. Loose pronouns. Mixed metaphors. Sentence fragments . . . aw crap. Whatever your sin, Sin and Syntax is an all-purpose grammar guide that helps not only to improve your grammar but also to polish your prose. Constance Hale divides her book into three sections: words,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.

7.		The Chicago Manual of Style from University Of Chicago Press Price: $34.65 Customer Review: This thorough and indispensible treatment of the structure of the English language should be in every writer's library, every home that intends to use correct English.

9.		The New Well-Tempered Sentence: A Punctuation Handbook for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed from Mariner Books Price: $8.50 Customer Review: As an English teacher, I agree with the reviews that express dismay at Ms. Gordon's idiosyncratic application of traditional grammar rules. However, the handbook's examples, illustrations, and dry wit make it a much more palatable resource for the teenagers I teach than the musty handbooks provided... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: A Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed from Pantheon Price: $16.29 Customer Review: The vampire book is certainly different in its wit, elaborate examples and the associated drawings. The author has made a valiant effort to spice up the subject. This isn't exactly "(You) see Spot run."
