Do you know how to use semicolons, where to put your apostrophes and when to use commas? Do you know the difference between affect and effect, if and whether, or who and whom? (Does anyone still say whom?) More importantly, do you know why this stuff matters?

The truth is that if your writing isn't up to scratch, it just won't be taken seriously. So, if you've reached a stage in your career or education where your writing needs to be high quality, Grammar for Grown Ups is a must for your top drawer. Vocational rather than academic, Grammar for Grown Ups is packed with real-life examples and keeps you engaged with a wealth of great quotations from Homer the Greek to Homer the Simpson.

Straight talking and methodical, Craig Shrives draws on his years as an intelligence officer as well as over a decade spent compiling his popular grammar website to present a comprehensive but light-hearted and easily digestible grammar reference guide. Find out whether winter should have a capital W, the difference between a hyphen and a dash, where to place your commas and crucial cross-Atlantic differences.

Grammar for Grown Ups is perfect for anyone who wants to brush up on half-remembered rules and write with confidence.

I've recently just finished editing a book for a first time writer, my first in fact (and hopefully more to come if any of you guys are interested) and this book was my avid companion. I'd say my grammar was pretty good prior to reading this book but it was fantastic at ironing out the common mistakes that I and many of you make.
It was set out simply and it was easy to find the section you were looking for. Shrives explained his points very clearly and used fantastic examples of when to use certain words or punctuation and when not too. He does use the same examples repeatedly but he warns you at the start that this is not really a book to read from cover to cover. It's brilliant for just dipping in and finding what you need.
It's funny, it's well thought out and a very useful guide to grammar.
