We used this grammar book for my English course this year. It is my favorite grammar book so far. It's small, light-weight, portable, and great for general reference. Definitely a keeper. It also wasn't expensive. YAY!

Love this book. It's a reference tool I use often when writing essays, since there are so many ways to cite quotations from different places. Got this in 2015... hopefully it's still up to date ^_^

Easy Writer: A Pocket Guide / 0-312-25591-8
I used this pocket guide extensively in college, and I'll happily sing the praises of this little pocket guide! The guide covers every major documentation school of thought - and several minor ones that I was unaware of prior to the purchase of this guide. The documentation covers every possible occurrence - from the banal One-Book-One-Author guidelines (that every documentation guide includes) to obscure guidelines for modern sources such as online web pages, spoken conversations, e-mail communication, taped interviews, and so on.
Many of these occurrences I could not even find in documentation guidelines online, let alone in my college texts. The documentation guidelines also provide lucid and useful examples. I recommend this guide highly, if you have a lot of term papers to write and if you have a teacher who is a stickler for documentation!

I will most likely reference this book often as I finally finish up college. After being out of school for so many years you do not realize how much you actually forget, great refresher but the descriptions are not always obvious. At first, I thought it was just me, but after bringing a few things to my professor's attention, she concurred that certain items were just not clear. Overall, it is a good language reference when unsure.

I'm a big fan of Andrea Lunsford. Her work is so down to earth and user friendly.

A great quick reference book for multiple writing formats (MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE).

This is a fantastic source for a quick look at grammar. I found the MLA and APA guidelines for citations especially helpful as a quick reference.
