Comments on The Broadview Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuationand on The Broadview Guide to Writing: "The Broadview Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuationis a superb, comprehensive guide that I'll be adopting across all my writing courses. It's easy for students to navigate, and it clarifies meanings of key terms in a way that other grammar guides do not. The coverage of run-on sentences and sentence fragments is particularly strong--as is the coverage of subject-verb agreement errors and of dangling modifiers. The coverage of special issues arising for those whose first language is not English is well thought-out. Throughout, the examples are excellent, spanning a variety of contexts and disciplines, and the text is highly readable, especially when compared to other guides I have used. The exercises on the user-friendly companion website are original and engaging; I will definitely assign these. The Broadview Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuationfills a need for a detailed but easily comprehensible student guide, and it's certain to be of use across a range of disciplines." -- Louise Kane, University of Central Florida "This is by far the best grammar textbook that I have seen in many years.

" -- Andrey Reznikov, Black Hills State University "Even the most useful reference guides are not always, well, shall we say, riveting. A refreshing exception is The Broadview Guide to Writing, which is smart, helpful, and even fun to read." -- Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, authors of They Say / I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing "The Broadview Guide to Writingis not only informative and impressive; it is smart--smartly written and smartly designed." -- Dennis Paoli, Co-coordinator, Writing Across the Curriculum, Hunter College, CUNY "The Broadview Guideremains the most readable writing guide available--at any price. Moreover, it's sensible, and it's complete. The authors assume nothing, but they don't condescend." -- Jacky Bolding, University of the Fraser Valley "There's so much to like here: the sense of proportion, the sensible layout, the precision of the usage notes, the sound stylistic advice, and the examples. The text is clearly informed by the best traditions of composition and rhetoric, but comes across in a disarming fashion with a common-sense approach.

Long after the course is over, students will want to keep this book as a manual of style and usage." -- Thomas L. Martin, Department of English, Florida Atlantic University.
