"Perfect English Grammar is a short but remarkably thorough guide
to English usage and the principles and practices of composition.
It belongs in high school and college classrooms, as well as on
office desks, as a refreshing reference. This may just be the
perfect guide to perfect English." --Michael Adams, Professor of
English, Indiana University Bloomington
"The English language, like all languages, is complicated. Grant
Barrett is not. That's the amazing virtue of this book. The author
fearlessly addresses practically every question or problem you
might encounter in trying to write well. -- Allan Metcalf,
Executive Secretary of the American Dialect Society, author of From
Skedaddle to Selfie: Words of the Generations
