Hardback. Etat : Good. By the author of the Atlantic Monthly's highly popular column Word Court, the most engaging grammar guide of our time, with all the authority of Strunk and White and all the fun of Woe Is I. The Judge Judy of Grammar was born when the Atlantic Monthly's Barbara Wallraff began answering grammar questions on America Online. This vibrant exchange became the magazine's bimonthly Word Court, and eventually the bestselling hardcover book, Word Court.

With true wit, she deliberates and decides on the right path for lovers of language, ranging from classic questions-Is a historical or an historical correct?-to awkward issues-How long does someone have to be dead before we should all stop calling her the late? Should you use like or as-and when? The result is a warmly humorous, reassuring, and brilliantly perceptive tour of how and why we speak the way we do.…

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. …
