In this practical guide, readers will learn everything from the different parts of speech to why effective writers prefer concrete nouns and active verbs.\n\nThe Glamour of Grammar gives readers all the tools they need to\"live inside the language\" -- to take advantage of grammar to perfect their use of English, to instill meaning, and to charm through their writing. With this indispensable book, readers will come to see just how glamorous grammar can be.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316027901\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316027901.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Clark, Roy Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
