About this title

Review

Not a glib crib with promises of A grades, but expert guidance through coursework and revision... it should prove hugely popular. (TES)

Rooted in the best practice of English teaching, the book is far superior to the old-style 'Revision Guide' and is clearly worthy of the attention of teachers and students. (The Use of English)
