Kathleen,

I have a copy of the 2005 edition of Honegger's "English Grammar for 
Writing" and I like it because the author uses tree structures in the 
sentence diagramming rather than Reed-Kellogg diagrams.  If you call 
the publisher (Houghton Mifflin Company)they may be able to tell you 
if they have plans to publish a new edition of the same book soon. 

You might want to review two other grammar textbooks,"The Essentials 
of English - A Writer's Handbook" by Ann Hogue (Longman, 2003), 
and "English Grammar in Context" by Kitty Chen Dean (Longman,
2001). These textbooks (which I have) seem to be more accessible for 
students who take an introduction to English grammar like ENG 250.
