Summary: In my opinion -- Best of its Kind
Comment: I call myself a writer, but grammar is something that I have a problem with, so I used a lot of grammar/writing handbooks while going to college. I liked this one the best. The explanations are not simple, but they do not expect you to be a grammarian either. Actually, I only came across this by accident. I found it in a book bin (for free!) and picked it up, --since I am a sucker for anything free - especially a good book, and it has made writing much easier for me.
Boy, am I glad I did. The St. Martin's Handbook actually teaches grammar in a comprehensive way, and they focus on the grammar issues that I have problems with - and for good reason. Andrea Lunsford and Robert Connors found out what the patterns were for error on student writing, and they gathered a nationwide sample of over 20,000 student essays's to find out what the error patterns for error among students are, and they wrote a book for geared towards those patterns.
This book isn't just for the grammatically challenged though; it is a good reference, with everything one hopes to find in a handbook and an excellent learning tool as well. Skip over Bedford and head straight for St. Martin's.
