• I would buy anything recommended by Julie Bogart. She just knows her stuff.
• I purchased this in format to use with our Brave Writer book guides. I love the information and the way grammar is explained. However, the kindle version has a huge problem with the page numbers! While all the pages appear to be present the numbers are way off. Here are the numbers if the first dozen pages 1, 3, 4, 22, 41, 42, 44, 49, 57, 58, 69, 77. As you can imagine this makes it very difficult to find the pages I'm looking for. In total, the page numbers go from 1 to 6266!
• More Nitty-Gritty Grammar and its predecessor, Nitty-Gritty Grammar, are simply terrific! The team of Fine and Josephson have created a duo of books which gently teach an elusive subject and yet entertain the reader.
  Imagine a book with a CNN-style scroll at the bottom of each page. Follow the scroll and learn something new in grammar or refresh yourself on something half forgotten since high school. Then, viola!, the scroll also gives the reader a page reference to read more.
  Go a step further. Check out the cartoons (good ones like Baby Blues and Heathcliff) for more grammar pointers. Who woulda thunk it? Cartoonists as grammarians!! Wonderful!
  Fine and Josephson make their points without insulting the student nor overburdening the teacher. Nitty-Gritty is well organized and well explained. I have used these books very successfully in tutoring adults. A recent forty-five year old student, Cheryl, remarked she followed her book's CNN ticker in her text and "couldn't get enough of it." I agree with Cheryl.
• Everything we wanted to know got answered. Am using this from the recommendation of Bravewriter for use in our homeschool to teach a kid how to write. Very good presentation of grammar - way more fun than Strunk & White
• Love the book! Great review! Yes. I can and do look up grammar online. I still need a good book. This one is part of my grammar toolkit.
• I like it's user-friendliness. Some topics weren't covered, but what it does cover was pretty easy to understand and it's not a huge and overwhelming book to read. My kids love the comics.
• It covers a lot but we regularly have to refer to other sources for deeper information or to answer further questions my son has.
• This book is even better than I hoped. It is clear and easy to understand and also quite funny. I would not have thought english grammer could be such fun.
