Gregg,

I have the 2005 edition of Williams's "The Teacher's Grammar Book." 
According to the author, the book "is not a handbook, and was never 
intended to be one," but "was designed to offer an easy-to-use guide 
to teaching methods and grammar and usage questions, and "it provides 
an overview of English grammar." 

"The Teacher's Grammar Book" is not a textbook to be used in teaching 
grammar, but a review of grammars and teaching methods.
