I've made this a required reference book for some of my ESL writing classes for advanced graduate students. It is a collection of problems (mostly with grammar) that non-native speakers encounter when writing. Multiple solutions to the problem are given for each entry. This book uses a lot of vocabulary that is common to writing handbooks and grammar texts, so it might not be appropriate for beginning writers. It's also to be used as reference, rather than a textbook or a general writing guide. If you are looking for something to keep nearby as you write to answer questions about grammar in writing, this is a perfect book for you.
