Reviews

Arlene Miller is not only an expert at grammar, but she's a terrific writer. Her books are well presented and fun--full of information that all writers need. Linda Loveland Reid, former president of Redwood Writers, author, painter, art historian. In preparation for a community college Engish class I taught, I purchased one of Arlene Miller's books along with six other grammar books to compare against one another. Hands down, Miller's book was the BEST. I even brought all the other books to my class to show the students, and they all voted for it. Babs Beach, college instructor. Arlene Miller's books are among the very few grammar books worth reading. They are readable, applicable, and immediately useful. Hillary Moore, actor-director, poet.
