Practically Painless English, by Sally Foster Wallace is a pretty basic book, but I think it's a good starting place for someone who wants a complete grammar review.
After getting through Wallace's book, you might look at Martha Kolln's Understanding English Grammar. It is the text we used in my uni grammar course, and I enjoyed it. |
