Review
Grammar, like love, is a perpetual mystery, and books on how to do either better are eternal. In NITTY-GRITTY GRAMMAR, Edith H. Fine and Judith P. Josephson attack the homonyms and dangling modifiers that? which? frequently plague even native speakers, and even delve into the fine points of diagramming. -Publishers Weekly
From the Author
Grammar rusty? This book combines humor with grammar basics.
As the authors of Nitty-Gritty Grammar, we love what happens when people pick up our book. They chuckle at the cartoons: Calvin and Hobbes, B.C., For Better or For Worse, Dennis the Menace, Zits, The Far Side, etc. (thirty cartoons, all grammar-related). Then they say, "I love this. Why wasn't grammar taught this way when I was a kid? Where can I get it? I need seven."
A Ticker Tape on each page highlights common bloopers. The back cover offers rave reviews from writer/professor Mary Kay Blakely, grammar guru Richard Lederer, Forbes editor Stewart Pinkerton, and communications expert Jenni Prisk.
Nitty-Gritty Grammar is based on a class we've taught since 1985 at San Diego State University. It's a zany, one-day blitz through the basics of grammar, with common bloopers and cartoons leading the way. If the book helps you remember "between you and me," (not "I"), refreshes your memory about dangling participles and misplaced modifiers, reminds you of the difference between "it's" and "its," and helps you pronounce the word "nuclear" as "new-clee-ar" not "new-cue-ler," we'll be happy campers. Think of us (in our Groucho glasses) saying, "Grammar is a very serious business."
Edith Fine and Judith Josephson, The Grammar Patrol
