So, if you've reached a stage in your career or education where your writing needs to be high quality, Grammar Rules is a must for your top drawer. Vocational rather than academic, Grammar Rules is packed with real-life examples and keeps you engaged with a wealth of great quotations from Homer the Greek to Homer the Simpson.
