About this title

From the Author:

If you liked Grammar For Grownups, you'll love The Anarchist's Guide to Grammar, by Val Dumond. I take the basics of grammar, offer explanations of the inconsistent "rules", and offer common sense guidelines to help writers to schmooze U.S. language to fit their work. My goal is to help every writer create their own Style Manual. Take a look!
