The Preposition Book: Practice toward Mastering English Prepositions Illustrated Edition

I used to be very confused with preposition. The content of this book helps me a lot by providing simple explanations.

I got this book because prepositions are always a tough stuff for people like me who speak English as a second Language. This book is both didactical and practical so that you may find a good explanation on each topic and some exercises as well. I am currently reviewing it with good results so far.

This was the best of several prepositions books that I examined. I will be using it for my online tutoring classes as well as abroad. Recommended for ESL teachers.

Reading the back cover of this book, I got the impression that the CD-ROM was included--It clearly says, "The Preposition Book is accompanied by a CD-ROM,Preposition Pinball and Other Games, which is sold separately or with this book." Turns out the CD-ROM is not sold with this book, but is a separate purchase on Amazon.com for another $24++. Since the CD-ROM is where the essential practice and instant feedback sessions are, the book sans the CD-ROM is but a shell. Just a quick succession of tersely stated rules and a couple of cursory exercises that follow. It is also puported to be an instruction manual for the CD-ROM, which you will have to purchase separately, of course.The book itself is strictly OK. I take away stars for disingenuous marketing, and for nickel and diming the consumer. I expected better sale ethics from a public univeristy, like the publisher of this book....

It is so nice to have such a book. Thanks to Tom Cole and to Amazon

good book

Very poorly organized book. If you need to get a 'real' preposition book you are better off with Raymond Murphy's books.

Good
