The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation is "An Easy-to-use Reference Guide and
Workbook" and lives up to its description. Attractively designed and
well-written, the book is indeed a good attempt to demystify the intricacies of
grammar and punctuation. What I received is the New, Expanded Eighth Edition and
so the author would have incorporated several improvements based on the
feed-back from users of the previous editions.
The book provides clear rules and examples for Subject and Verb Agreement,
Pronouns, Adjectives and Adverbs, Problems with Prepositions, Lie vs. Lay, and
Effective Writing in the grammar section.
The Punctuation Section covers Spacing, Periods, Ellipsis marks, Commas,
Semicolons, Colons, Question Marks, Exclamation Marks, Quotation Marks,
Parentheses, Apostrophes and Hyphens, etc.
The book has a number of exercises and quizzes to test one's knowledge. The
layout is attractive. I have no doubt that the book will be useful to all users
of English language.
