Great Book
A little better than Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" which I have been using for years (and still use). Like "Elements" the GRAMMAR CRAMMER is only about 100 pages, but I find answers I don't get in "Elements", and the index is much better. The type size is larger also. For the price, it is well worth it.

Tells how to organize notes and decide what to write down
Excellent advice on how to read a nonfiction book and what notes to make about it, how to take them down fast and why not to use a tape recorder. Written in chatty style, it's not much of a chore to read. I recommend it enthusiastically since it's jam-packed with helpful ideas.

Turned spelling into a game by explaining the rules
The first book that laid out the reasons behind the inconsistencies in spelling so that I could remember how to spell formerly tricky words. The exercises and self-checking quizzes at the end of each short chapter were fun and rewarding. The index of commonly misspelled words continues to be useful. I recommend it for anyone who never really learned how to spell well in schoo.
