Does the world need another grammar book? I think so. And it needs one because many of the existing books are filled with explanations using grammatical terms that many people don't understand, and the people who do understand don't need the book. 

Like all my grammar books, I have done everything possible to explain things clearly and without resorting to grammatical terms or complex explanations. Everything is in plain, simple English.

Items covered in the book include:

* Parts of Speech
* Punctuation (all fourteen of them)
* Grammar Myths
* Miscellaneous
* How to Use Numbers When Writing
* Abbreviations, Initialisms, and Acronyms
* Linking Verbs
* Subject/Verb Agreement
* Latin Abbreviations
* (much more)
* Plurals
* Redundancies
* Misused Words
* Capitalization
* Usage Issues
* Punctuation of Dialogue

With more than nine hundred pages, the book is a comprehensive reference for grammar. It also shows many of the issues where the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style disagree.

The most important thing is that the book explains everything in plain English so as not to be confusing. It is easy to understand and grasp for any reader. Only a basic understanding of grammar is necessary.
