The Least You Should Know about English, 2008-09-07
What good are those proofreading marks on your paper if you have no idea how to fix the problem? Most English grammar books use so much technical jargon that the writer just gives up. This book lays out the problem using a minimum of grammatical terms and then clearly shows how to write the word or passage correctly. Use it as a reference book or go through it chapter by chapter; grammar will finally make sense.

WONDERFUL BOOK!, 2006-05-02
I have taught with this book many times. It has clear explanations of grammar basics, lots of exercises all through, and ALL the answers in the back, so students can self-educate to a certain extent. One of the finest books for college developmental English courses. It also has a superb bank of exercise and progress tests - available for instructors.

The Best You Should Know..., 2001-12-16
I was introduced to this text a number of years ago when teaching in a community college in California. Every other English textbook I have seen since has dissatisfied me. Glazier's text can be used for classroom teaching or for self-paced instruction and can be adapted for any level from middle school through college. My students have commented after the first few lessons, "Wow -- nobody ever taught it to me this way!" Whether your student is advanced or needs extra help, this text can provide it all. I'll never use anything else for teaching grammar and mechanics. Denise Stickel

The Least you NEED to know about English, 2001-04-18
As an English teacher, I often find it difficult attaining grammar books that are accessable to all students. The Least You Should Know About English provides comprehensive lessons that students can understand, and also gives a wealth of exercises. The book deals with all grammar errors-fragments, usage, parallel structure, shifts in time, apostrophe-as well as proofreading exercies. For times you struggle with the correct answer, an answer key is provided. I found this book ideal in my high school classroom, since so many students lack the grammar background needed to be successful in writing.
