Collins GEM English Grammar by Hardie HARDBACK (only from Amazon.com.uk)

In our opinion, this is simply the best English grammar book available on the market. It contains 256 pages and there is not a wasted or redundant word in it. The left hand page carries the explanation and it refers to the numerous examples on the right hand page. To quote somebody else, Don't leave home with out it!

The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: The Ultimate Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed by Karen Elizabeth Gordon

Don't you just love the title! This book can get anyone into grammar without even realising it. As you can just make out on the cover, the illustrations used to demonstrate the grammar are something else.

The New Well-Tempered Sentence: A Punctuation Handbook for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed by Karen Elizabeth Gordon

This is another by the author of the previous book and all the same comments apply. This book is a must for anyone who fears punctuation marks in general.

We will add her other books to the list shortly.

The Oxford Companion to the English Language by McArthur and McArthur

This book is extraordinary in the breadth and depth of the information it contains. It covers grammar, syntax, linguistics, speech etc etc. It addresses English as it is used and spoken in all the major populations and the influence of other languages on English. It contains more than 3,500 entries. As an aid in understanding English grammar, it is wonderful in its clarity.

The Oxford English Grammar by Greenbaum

This book is heavy going. It has its place — when we are really stuck, we use it and it usually helps. Not everyone's cup of tea, but worth having if you are seriously into English Grammar.
