I found this book searching a grammar rule in Google and entered to the author's site (a very good site). This book is really useful, has many grammar rules and punctuations. At the end of the book, it has a series of quizzes of each chapter and its answers. I really appreciate to have found this book!!!!!!!!
Not concerned--this book is great July 8, 2009

I have been a writing teacher for 6 years now and in the education business for 15 years. The Blue Book is one of the most helpful books I have found. No grammar book is perfect, but this one is very user friendly and perfect for helping high schoolers hone their grammar.
I know others have quibbled over this book, but their complaints are really unfounded.

As an editor and lover of punctuation (yes I admit it), it is wonderful to know that there are books such as The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation out there. I find myself referring to it most days of the week. It is an indispensable tool, and I wouldn't be able to do my job well without it. It is easy to read, easy to search for topics, and contains the answers to the most common issues that arise during the process of writing and editing. Simply put, it is invaluable.

I was teaching a class last month and someone asked me a fairly obscure grammar question. I didn't know the answer but I was so glad that I had brought a copy of the "Blue Book" with me (as I always do). The book is an easy-to-use resource for busy people who know that correct grammar and punctuation is essential if you want to present a professional image.
One-stop shopping for your everyday grammatical needs! January 18, 2008

I recently picked up the BBOG and want to sing its praises! Ms. Straus's compilation is easy to read, technically precise, and packed with useful examples. It's an invaluable reference for practical writing and a great learning tool for mastering those pesky counter-intuitive nuances that separate decent writing from masterful scholarship. I write for a living and soon after buying this book, I condensed my half-a-dozen writers' reference books into one source, The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation. I won't say "This book has changed my life"; it's a grammar book. But it has done one thing - answered each and every one of my grammar- and punctuation-related questions. What more can you ask for than one-stop shopping for your everyday grammatical needs!
