I'm very tired writing all this and it is not 50% of it. Can you believe it?

Aditional to that it have how to create sentences too. From the basics to more complicated things like letters if I'm not wrong. Every time I open the book I learn something new.

Reference. I bought it as a manual but it is not that. Even if you think you know everything there is to know, you're wrong. When I'm unsure and have my book near I look on it for help.

Good price for its content!

The way it is expressed and the examples on it.

More secure when I write and have it near. A very handy guide.

A lot of people (profesionals or is it professionals? included) needs it. The newspaper was supposed to be perfect and it is not anymore, so you see we need it to better ourselves.

The example above is something similar to what the book use as an example of how would be life without grammar. And I did write a paragraph there. Just try to read it without any problem (and I mean, like you are reading this lines) and you would not need the book.
