Review:

"I loved this text from the minute I adopted it somewhere in the 80s. The strength of THE LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH is the clarity of the grammar explanations."

"The text is easy to read--i.e., its layout is compelling--and the text covers areas that need to be covered in developmental English."

"I have continued to use THE LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH because it does a very good job in presenting clear descriptions of common problems, and because it has lots of practice sets with answers."
