Subject:  Book query
 
 
Hello all,
 
I'm writing to ask for some impromptu book reviews. I'm hung up trying to
decide between two texts to use for a course called 'Modern English
Grammar' (a structure-of-American-English type course for, mainly,
undergraduate English majors; it's a ten-week course).
 
The books in question are Mary Sedley's 'Anatomy of English' and Jeff
Kaplan's 'English Grammar: Principles & Facts'.
 
If anyone uses or has used these books and has comments, I'd be very
appreciative. I can post a summary to the list, if people ask for that.
I'm interested in knowing how successful either book is, and any problems
that might arise with it (especially in such a short term of instruction).
 
Thanks!
