This arrived this morning. Cover design makes the magnifying glass almost 3D. New, revised, updated edition of 2017 book, with cartoons by artist Jake Tebbit, published by Chambers-Hachette. Thanks to all the team there. A lighthearted digest for the non-specialist.

Pleased to get my new book in the post today. Mainly for A-level and undergrads but, I hope, also for school teachers and the 'lost generation' who never studied grammar at school. I tried to keep it clear and simple. Routledge: a great publisher - many thanks to my editors.
