Good reference book

I've read better grammar and English language guides.

Although it can be considered to be more of a reference book, there is lots of good information scattered throughout, for those willing to read it cover to cover. My only problem with it was - the listing of commonly misspelled words, alongside other words that were spelled correctly. These could have been listed as a note to the correct spelling - thus saving space. I understood the concept of why it was done this way, but it was jarring to come across a word that you knew was spelt wrong.

Gave up as it was more of a reference book.

Nebo taky slovník toho jak se to má psát, po krátkém úvodu je to opravdu jen seznam slovíček jak mají vypadat. Dobré pro kontrolu, není to ale v žádném případě učebnice (ve skupině kterých mi to GR doporučil).
