> Dear Marshall Myers,
I would be interested in doing the review of the Price and Rodgers book,
particularly as I am engaged on writing a book of English pedagogy myself.
For my background, see my website, shown below.
Yours,

> The book I have up for review now is the second edition of Grammar Demystified
> by Jonathan Price and Jeanne Rodgers.
>
> The book strikes me as one that could be used in an elementary grammar course,
> even in a high school English, or a freshman composition course. In part, it
> places emphasis on using grammar as a way to explain certain writing problems.
> I have two copies, one to give away to the reviewer (you won't have to wait on

> I'd like very much to get a reviewer who hasn't reviewed for us before. High
> school teachers and comp teachers who use grammar to teach writing would suit
> me fine.
>
> The review should be about two double-spaced pages long. After I name the
