Reviews from the first edition:

' an accessible and lively guide to English style and usage.' - Secondary and Higher Education Journal

'Richard Palmer has a formidable grasp of the language and illustrates his points with some fascinating quotations.' - UL Bradford Telegraph and Argus

'Brisk, attractive and undogmatic, and a distinguishing feature of the whole book is his obvious enjoyment of his task. This book would undoubtedly help any trainee scientist to improve his skills in transferring information in English - and to enjoy doing so.' - Journal of Fluid Mechanics

'Anyone looking for a ready source of ideas to stretch KS4 English pupils and to extend the range in their writing needs search no further! His book provides the necessary underpinning for any writer: confidence in handling language to its best effect in a register appropriate to the given task and audience individual lovers of the language will also find much in it to delight and test them.' - Journal of the Headmasters' Conference Schools

'This is not a book about the teaching of grammar: it is a book that does that grammar teaching itself ... I am sure it will provide the foundations for many a lesson plan; and it is not only teachers who will find this book invaluable as a reference resource.' - Writing in Education
